Preliminary Update: Launch of the New Waste Collection Contract
http://calendar.regionofwaterloo.ca/Coun...17#page=97
"While challenges have been experienced, both contractor performance and citizen participation at launch has been exceptional, with approximately 90% of citizens placing their garbage out on
the correct week at launch, and routing/collection issues being quickly addressed and collection routes completed. A new requirement with this contract is the “nesting” of green bins and blue boxes once emptied, thereby reducing container breakage, containers blowing away in windy conditions, and ensuring the overall neatness of community streets after collection. Feedback from citizens has been overwhelmingly positive on this initiative."
"In March 2017, the first month of the new collection contract, green bin tonnages increased by approximately fifty per cent over the same time period last year, and blue box tonnage increased by six per cent."
