Council Round-up: Some residents still not aware of temporary trash pickup changes
The City of Prince Albert has pushed back recycling and garbage collection to 5 a.m. until further notice, but many residents are still putting their trash out too late.
Ordinarily, waste collection would start at 7 a.m. But because there’s still snow melting in the rear lanes making it difficult for vehicles move through, the city has changed the start time for pickups for residences.
“We’re going earlier while … we have some frost working for us,” director of public works Colin Innes told the executive committee Monday evening.
And the fact the word hasn’t gotten out about the change to all residents is a concern for Coun. Tim Scharkowski.
