The City of Castlegar has APPROVED changes to residential garbage pick up.
Starting in April 2016, garbage pickup will change to once every second week. We are against this change, and demand it stays at once a week.
The city has approved $500,000 to pay for large "Bear Resistant" garbage containers that will be provided free of charge to all residents.
Further, something needs to be done to improve public consultation numbers before implementing such major changes.
