Some east-end city councillors are slamming a plan to collect garbage less often. The city’s plan would go from collecting garbage every week to only every other week.
Stephen Blais, Bob Monette and Tim Tierney say they’ll fight the proposals.
The city is aiming to divert 60 percent of waste away from landfills. It currently only diverts 42 percent.
One idea is to collect green bin waste every week, while scaling back the frequency of garbage collection.
In a poll on the 1310News website, 67 percent of respondents opposed getting rid of weekly garbage collection.
