Garbage collection is within the jurisdiction of the Town of Newcastle,
whereas garbage disposal is not.
Tender 82 - 12, as prepared by Staff, contains two clauses requiring
the contractor to dispose of the collected garbage at a licenced waste
disposal facility subject to monthly verification, as well as a
general clause requiring the contractor to comply with all applicable
legislation.
It is the responsibility of the contractor to take the collected garbage
to a properly licenced site or sites; subject to cancellation of the contract.
The C.A.O. has discussed the appropriateness of the tender with an
official of the Ministry of the Environment and with the Town's solicitor
(correspondence attached) and remains of the opinion that the recommend-
ation (Item 21, Report 1) is appropriate, Regional Reclaimers being the
lowest responsible bidder on Tender T82 - 12.
