Mayor Patricia Chase-Green has directed that the citizens of Georgetown should be consulted on the proposed implementation of a residential charge for Garbage disposal.
On Friday Town Clerk Royston King announced that Mayor and City Council (M&CC) will be moving to charge residents a per barrel fee for garbage collection from the start of next month. King stressed that the sums garnered would be used to assist the cash-strapped municipality in offsetting the extremely high cost of the service.
Yesterday at the close of the first statutory meeting of the year, Councillors were told that they had approved the fee in principle at the last meeting of December 27, 2017.
