The City will now replace garbage or recycle carts damaged by vandals or other vehicles for free.
The damage will have to have been done by someone either than the homeowner… so if you back into your own recycle cart, you’re out of luck.
Homeowners will still have to pay a fee of $60.00+GST if their carts go missing or are stolen.
Free replacement of stolen carts were originally in the proposal, but was shelved.
Current replacement fees:
All replacement cart and replacement part fees are subject to GST
240L recycling and garbage carts
| Replacement of lost or destroyed cart | $60.00 |
| Replacement lid and rod | $10.00 |
| Metal catch bar | $1.88 |
| Axle | $4.38 |
| 10” rubber wheel | $6.25 |
360L recycling and garbage carts
| Replacement of lost or destroyed cart | $75.00 |
| Replacement lid and rod | $10.54 |
| Metal catch bar | $1.88 |
| Axle | $5.00 |
| 10” rubber wheel | $6.25 |
Previously, only carts that were damaged by city garbage collection workers (Emterra) were replaced without charge.
