Calgary committee endorses uniform pickup of black bins despite usage
“Given the best-case data accuracy on collection data is 95 per cent , it is estimated that approximately 30,000 household bills could contain errors each month, resulting in customer complaints and calls,” a report reads.
The recommendation was to keep with the existing, low-cost program as it is, despite the estimated monthly increase of $0.50 per household if the variable set-out option was pursued.“What we hear continually, over and over, and what the data says is that 96 per cent of users for our waste and recycling system are really compliant in putting materials in the right places, and that the frequency of pickup is meeting Calgarians needs,” committee chair Kourtney Penner said.
