Public Notice - Calls from the RDN

The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) received notice from a resident who was called by an individual posing as an RDN representative. They proceeded to tell the resident that they owed money for solid waste curbside collection carts. The RDN does not charge residents for curbside carts, and service fees are only collected directly by the RDN or through municipal partner utility bills. The resident followed the RDN’s recommended course of action which is to hang up and call the RDN directly. Do not provide credit card or other personal information unless you have initiated a call to the RDN. Residents may also report suspicious calls to the RCMP or the Anti-fraud line at 1-888-495-8501.
