A new system for charging households for garbage collection is expected in 2024.
The committee heard that the initial period under the flat fee is needed because the city’s budget will no longer have any property tax-supported funding for garbage collection in 2024, so funds are needed to maintain service while staff prepare the rollout of the variable-sized carts.
The committee further heard that city staff want to time the rollout of new black carts with an eye to avoiding problems with lingering snow encountered during the recent distribution of theCurrently, households all have 360-litre black carts. Under the proposed new system, these would be considered the “large” size and would cost a household $10.58 each month. Medium-sized 240 L carts would cost $7.05. Small-sized carts will cost $3.
The new carts will be purchased using a $3.5 million internal loan, in quantities to cover an estimated 25 to 40 per cent of households who are expected to downsize their bins. Council has had a contentious history when it comes to moving to a garbage collection utility, rather than having the service paid for out of property taxes.Article contentBut Hill triggered a vote nine days later to rescind that decision, saying he made a mistake by voting in favour previously. As a result, council then voted 6-5 to keep garbage collection paid for out of property taxes.
In 2021, council voted again to change course, with another 6-5 vote in favour of moving to a waste collection utility. Ward 3 Coun. David Kirton was the swing vote at that time, having been elected to replace the outgoing Ann Iwanchuk, who had previously been opposed to the change.
