City council to await legal advice on reengaging garbage collectors

Patricia Chase-Green

City councillors yesterday agreed to await legal advice to iron out details for the resumption of services by the city’s two largest garbage contractors.

This decision was taken following a recommendation by the city’s Finance Committee in a report presented to council.

At a November meeting, the committee recommended that the council seeks legal advice to determine whether the contractual agreements between the council and the companies still stand, given the fact that there were breaches by all parties.
