City begins consultations on garbage collection fee

City Hall last Thursday started a series of consultations on its move to implement a fee for garbage collection for city residents.

The first consultation, which was held in the Chambers of City Hall, saw a mixed response by residents, with some agreeing to the proposal and some others opposing it.

While a fee of $200 has been suggested for the weekly collection of garbage, one resident who was in favour of paying for the service said the cost should be lower.
