Solution finalized for Midtown garbage bin roll-out
A 13-year issue plaguing Midtown that has brought rodents, crime and decreased property values has found its remedy.
Residents have called the garbage bin situation in the neighbourhood “out of control” and a “disgusting headache.”
At a mid-October council meeting, countless letters and photos of overflowing, burning or knocked over bins centred heavily in the Midtown neighbourhood were presented to council and branded as a “real problem” on the streets. The letters read how residents have reached out countless times requesting help from the city to little or no avail.
Council was asked to approve new bins for the Midtown area and bring forward a report about bin conversion for the remainder of the city. However, the approval came with heavy debate, once again.
