The Mayor and City Council will next week begin consultations with the business community to map out a new approach to garbage collection and disposal systems, in light of the high cost for the services to the city.
Consultations will begin on Monday, April 3, 2017, at City Hall, Town Clerk Royston King said in a press release yesterday.
According to the release, the city council spends about $2.5 million to collect and dispose of 290 tonnes of waste on a daily basis, and a substantial portion of the waste is generated by businesses and commercial entities operating in the city and even beyond.
