The city of Saskatoon says some residents continue to refuse the new green bin upon attempted delivery.
The city of Saskatoon says some residents continue to refuse the new green bin upon attempted delivery.
The bin is designed for food and yard waste and is part of the city-wide composting program that aims to divert waste from the landfill.
The city says of the 32,000 bins delivered so far, about 120 residents have refused.
Brendan Lemke, the city’s director of water and waste operations, says the main concerns he’s hearing is around space.
“Everybody’s got to figure out where to put that third cart, and sometimes it’s easier than for others. For those who have front-street collection, you might have to get a little bit creative,” Lemke said.
The fee for the new green cart program will show up on utility bills, costing the average homeowner $6.73.
But those who refuse the bin will still be charged for the program.
