This decision was not made lightly, and supported by Council and Administration. The safety of our Public Works staff, cleanliness of our Town and financial impact due to additional charges ultimately led to this decision. Unfortunately, on multiple dates our Public Works department had found an overflow of items, which results in the bins not being collected and items needing to be removed, items deposited into incorrect bins and items that are not accepted by Loraas deposited. Our Public Works department had made efforts to minimize the additional charges and ensure the bins could be collected by removing/relocating items, but this not only poses a safety hazard to them if they need to be in the bin or manually removing overfill, it also pulls them away from other work, resulting in delays to the community and residents.
