The Bulky Plastics program continues to prove successful with staff education and increased staff inspections to remove any contamination.  D.

Councillor D. Joyce presented a proposed bin for the Source Separated Organics program (SSO).  The Committee and staff discussed different scenarios of collection, promotion and education and By-Law amendment requirements.  D. Kerr advised that a collection analysis will be part of the Integrated Waste Management Strategy.
