  • Whereas the vast majority of green/blue bins are damaged through aggressive collection methods or circumstances which are beyond the control of residents including extreme cold and heat and the City’s winter operations during collection days; and

    Whereas the demand for a free green/blue bin replacement at my recent Environment Day Event, where over 8,000 households attended, was overwhelming; and

    Whereas it was a real eye opener for me to witness the magnitude of the issue which made me realize that this was a service which needed to be made free permanently; and

    Whereas residents should not be charged a fee on a circumstance, over which they have no control;

    Now Therefore Be It Resolved:

    That City Council direct the City Manager to permanently eliminate the green/ blue bin exchange fee effective January 1, 2021.

    Now Therefore Be It Further Resolved that the City Manager be directed to enter into discussions with the City’s solid waste collection contractor to arrive at a more equitable and sustainable solution to cover the cost of bin replacement.
