The Standing Policy Committee on Utilities and Environment accepted the report on tag-a-bag for information yesterday.
The proposal suggests implementing a tag-a-bag program in 2012 after the roll out of black cart automated garbage collection. The estimated cost would be about $2 per tag for bags that don’t fit in the carts. A black cart will hold about four standard sized garbage bags.
Here is an interview with Dave Griffiths, Director of Waste and Recycling Services describing what accepting for information means, when black cart will be rolled out and when tag-a-bag will go potentially be rolled-out.

This tag-a-bag discriminates the large families, who will probably need 2 boxes.
ReplyDeleteTag-a-bag is a great idea but needs to be combined with year around leaf and grass recycling as these items will be the main source of most families extra charges.
ReplyDeleteLarge families and those who create more non-recycleable garbage SHOULD pay more - the cost is commensurate with the benefit.
