For us, the cancelled green bin pick up is still something we can handle since it'll at least get picked up the following week. The missed garbage pick up, on the other hand, is gonna be disastrous. The next garbage pick up isn't until 2 weeks later (10 days from now), and you just know that is gonna be ugly for a lot of households, including mine.
The really sucky thing is -- my garbage was supposed to get picked up last Wed and there wasn't even that much snow accumulation, and CoV has already indicated that City staff were cancelling green bin pick up to focus on garbage collection. But even then, garbage pick up did not happen. CoV then emailed us to leave our garbage bins out for the following day if it didn't get picked up on Wed, and of course by Thur, that's when the super heavy snowfall has accumulated overnight.
Garbage collection and arterial snow removal are what I'd consider to be pretty basic and essential municipal gov services. And even then, CoV is dropping the ball on it.
