sunsech: _MULRIEBMELY BECKCLING COLUBGTION SERAIESS

RECOMMENDATION

Bach Strate development should be examined on an
individual basis. If at all possible che City
should pick-up from curbside at Strata developments.

If a Strata development finds curbside pick-up
unacceptable then a suitable sheltered Location
should be selected within the complex for pick-up.
The City would chen ask for a letter from the Strata
giving permission to the City to enter its property.
A waiver should also be signed by the Strata to
Limit some of the City's Liability

Recycling collection should not be permitted in
apartment parking garages. AS well, in the interests
of collection efficiency and safety, the City should
refuse to collect door-to-door within Strata

developments.

BACKGROUND

Several townhouse complexes £9 Or MOR GLOBE are
unwilling to bring their recycling blue bags to 4
Location curb-side to a city road for weekly pick-
up. tTnstead they are insisting that the City enter
into the ‘complex to pick-up recyclables.

This presents to two concerns to the City, the first
being the Liabilities associated with City recycling
crews entering onto private property. The second is
the decrease in collection efficiency which will
occur when crews drive into the private roads for

pick-up.
