Neighbourhoods to petition city for roll-out garbage bins
A solution to the communal alleyway garbage bins plaguing downtown parts of the city appears to have been found.
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 or rollout bins, but to little or no avail.
But after various councillors, particularly Evert Botha, expressed a strong will to remedy the situation, a report outlining the replacement and implementation of the individual wheel out bins made its way forward to council Monday night.
