The Georgetown City Council has notified private garbage contractors Cevons Waste Management and Puran Brothers Disposal Inc. that it views their planned suspension of collection services from today as a “termination” of their contracts with the municipality.
Both companies had given notice of their intention to suspend their services from today, owing to the hundreds of millions owed to them by the council.
However, by way of a letter, dated August 4, 2017, Town Clerk Royston King informed both companies that the council’s position is based on the fact that there is no provision within their contracts for the suspension of collection services.
