The only change to the city’s budget after the year’s first official budget meeting is the addition of $9,600 for garbage cans for sixteen bus stops.
Councillor Frank Pullia says it’s worth it to help fight the city’s litter problem.
“It’s a preventative measure that I believe, for $9,600 added to the budget, will go a long way in producing some positive results.”
City staff note that although adding garbage cans at every bus stop has been considered, it would be too expensive to collect trash from more than 800 stops. (File Photo)
