Each household will receive a city-provided garbage cart at no cost.
Corner Brook’s garbage collection contract with Murphy’s is coming to an end, and the city is looking at a new seven year contract that could start to be phased in early in the new year. City staff completed costing options and issued a tender but only received on bid from Murphy’s. Mayor Jim Parsons says council voted in favour of an automated weekly garbage collection using automated collection arms. Each household will receive a city-provided garbage cart at no cost. There will also be a bi-weekly recycling collection, sorted into two alternating streams for paper, plastic and metal. Parsons says this will take about 6 months to put this in place and get containers to residents. He says the cost is $1.4M a year to collect garbage plus another 7-800K on tipping fees at Wild Cove.
