2020-2021 Curbside Garbage & Recycling Calendar
As a result of a policy change by Recycle BC, the Town of Osoyoos will be phasing out the use of blue and cl
ear bags for residential curbside collection as of July 1, 2020.
Why Are Blue and Clear Recycling Bags Being Banned?
What's Next?
The Director of Operational Services presented another report to Council at a Special Open Meeting on February 21, 2020, following which Council passed the following motion:
What This Means...
The Town of Osoyoos will work with Waste Connections Canada to ensure that each property included in the residential collection program is supplied with the appropriate number of 240 litre wheeled carts with lids in June 2020. This arrangement amortizes the full purchase cost over a period of 6 years and transfers the risk to the contractor for deployment, maintenance, and replacement for that period. After the 6 year term ends the carts will become the property of the Town and repair and maintenance will become the Town's responsibility.
The cost per user is approximately $42/year, commencing in 2021, which will be incorporated into property taxes.
