What Ottawa is Talking About – 10 August 2021
▪️The City is considering changing the way it charges for garbage and wants your opinion. Door #1 is a households get a set number of bags and must purchase extra ones. Recycling and organics would remain free. Door #2 is is households have a set number of bags and nothing above that will be collected at any price. Door #3 is all garbage is in plastic bags, recycling and organics would not be allowed in those bags. And as you know, the City is taking this seriously because they have made a form.
