REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING
HELD DECEMBER 13, 1982.
TR-79-82
SUBJECT: BY-LAW TO REGULATE THE COLLECTION OF GARBAGE WITHIN THE LIMITS
OF THE MUNICIPAL COLLECTION AREAS OF THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended:
1 . That this report be received, and
2. That the Corporation of the Town of Newcastle award the contract
for the collection of garbage within the limits of the Municipal
Collection areas of the former Village of Orono, Orono Estates and
the former Village of Newcastle to the lowest responsible bidder,
which is the Regional Reclaimers, Newcastle, Ontario, and
3. That the attached By-Law to regulate the handling and collection
of garbage, rubbish, ashes and other waste materials within the
limits of the Municipal Collection areas of the Corporation of
the Town of Newcastle be approved.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:
By Resolution GPA#-1122-82 as amended by GPA#-1123-82 dated October 12, 1982 and
approved by Council Resolution C#-819-82 dated October 18, 1982, Council
directed that consideration be given to providing municipally sponsored garbage
collection in the former Village of Orono where it is currently provided and
in addition, in Orono Estates and the Urban area of the former Village of
Newcastle. It was further directed that advertisements be placed in appropriate
local newspapers to provide an opportunity for public comment from those affected
by this change of service.
Advertisements were placed in both the Orono and Newcastle newspapers and only
three replys were received. One was received from a garbage collection
contractor and pertained to the tendering procedure, therefore no action was
i
required. Another was recieved from Mr. Cureatz, requesting that the Town
consider extending the collection boundaries in Newcastle to include part of the
�b
•12 �' 3
G.P.A. Committee Meeting - 2
December 13, 1982
TR-79-82
Lakeshore Road and Baseline Road within the former urban boundaries of Newcastle
Village. This request can be accommodated if Council deems it advisable, however,
there is not a high concentration of garbage collection requirements in this area.
Finally, a Mr. H. Couch, residing at 173 Mill Street North in Newcastle Village
objected to any involvement of the Town at all in garbage collection on the basis
that costs would be increased. From the bid prices received, it is evident that
residents in the area will not be subject to increased costs, but will rather
have collection costs reduced. Currently residents pay in excess of $50.00 annually
for garbage collection. Under the bid prices for this contract, residents would
be paying about $40.00 per year. This objection, therefore has no substance and
Mr. Couch could be advised accordingly. The $40 isaestimate based onan average
assessment of $2,500.00.
The Director of Public Works , Purchasing Agent and the Treasurer have reviewed
the attached Bid Tabulation -T82-12 - Garbage Collection Contract and recommend
that the Regional Reclaimers, Box 358, Newcastle, Ontario, being the lowest
responsible bidder, be awared the contract.
Also, to faciliate the administration of the garbage collection within the
collection limits of the Town of Newcastle, staff have redrafted the garbage
collection by-laws and have incorporated the collection areas into one by-law
