HOV 17 tore

TO: Mayor and Council November 14th, 1975

FROM: . Alderman P.F. Ranger

I am opposed to some of the principles reflected in Draft I of the
Garbage By~law.

The interpretation of "dwelling" in Section 1 (a) and "householder" in
Section 1 (j) is very narrow and discriminatory.

Why are citizens who live in multiple dwellings and townhouses being
segregated in the By-law?

It would appear that. the intent of Draft I is to force those who do not
live in a single family dwelling to arrange for their own garbage collection.

If this is not the intent, then Section 3 is legislating inefficiency. For.
example, a 50 suite apartment could generate 150 standard garbage cans when
several 3 cu.yd. containers could do the job.

The By-law does not provide for efficient containerized pick-up.
The total emount of garbage created in a day requires a certain number
of man hours, equipment and energy to remove. No one has shown that

private contractors can do it cheaper or more efficiently than our
own crews.

Respectfully submitted: .
