Billing for the city's new waste collection program is to start on May 1. Read on to learn more. yxecc
The new program will accept everything the previous subscription program took, plus new items like food-soiled paper products and solidified fats and food grease. The committee heard there will be ongoing monitoring to determine whether more items can be accepted, and to make sure communication to residents is working to keep contamination rates low.
The new program is able to take a wider range of items than the old subscription model because waste will be handled by a third-party contractor, Green Prairie Environmental. Green Prairie expects to have a new processing facility able to handle 20,000 tons of material per year built in time for the program launch on May 1.
Ward 8 Coun. Sarina Gersher sought clarification from city staff on what happens if the new facility isn’t ready on time. She was told the contract with Green Prairie includes language requiring a contingency plan to be in place if the company can’t accept waste for any reason, with Green Prairie to cover any associated costs.Article content

Loewen asked where people can find out when the first green cart pickup will be in their neighbourhood, and was told the information is available on the city website, or through the city’s Waste Wizard smartphone app.
