Changes to the threshold from 10 units or more to 5 units or more is needed to better reflect current collection needs.
With the rollout of a new automated garbage collection system, the city of Corner Brook is making changes to the existing bylaw. At last night’s public meeting council spoke about amendments including regulations for the new curbside carts and moving from a single recycling approach to having two streams for fibers and plastics/metals. As well, Councillor Charles Pender says multi-residential properties with 6 or more apartments will no longer have garbage collected by the city. This includes revising the threshold from 10 units or more to 5 units or more to better reflect current collection needs as well as removal of the Grandfather Clause by eliminating the exemption for multi-unit residential buildings with more than 10 units that received municipal collection services in 2013. These buildings will no longer receive collection services by the City of Corner Brook. The city issued a notice of the proposed amendments asking for comment but no comments opposing the amendments were received.
