REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 13, 1982.
REPORT NO. WD-71-82.
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION # C-567-82 (JULY 5, 1982)
NEWCASTLE VILLAGE, ORONO ESTATES,
PROVISION OF GARBAGE COLLECTION SERVICES.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended:
1 . That this report be received for information as input to
possible requests for Municipally-sponsored garbage
collection in areas where no such service presently exists.
BACKGROUND:
There have been recent enquiries of Members of Council and Staff
concerning the possibility of providing Municipally-sponsored
garbage collection in areas such as the Village of Newcastle and
Orono Estates. On July 5, 1982, Council , by Resolution # C-567-82,
directed Staff to investigate the feasibility of such a proposal
and report on the matter, giving consideration to the timing of
the present contract for garbage collection in the (former) Village
of Orono.
REPORT:
s
The Town, using it' s own forces, presently collects garbage in
Bowmanville, and sponsors collection, on a contract basis, within
the limits of the (former) Village of Orono. Other areas within
WD-71-82 - 2
the Municipality, e.g. Newcastle Village, Orono, Hampton, etc. ,
have a private collection service, not administered by the Town.
Any expansion of Town services to such areas would, most likely,
be handled by a private collector under contract to the Town. In
this respect, Section 210, ss. 83, 85 and 86, of The Municipal Act,
would apply:
Section 210, subsection 83, stipulates that a Municipality may pass
by-laws for establishing and maintaining a garbage collection
system, be it by contractor or otherwise;
Section 210, subsection 85, stipulates that a Municipality may pass
by-laws for collection and removal of garbage at the expense of the
owners, and;
Section 210, subsection 86, states that a Municipality may pass by-
laws for charging the owners for garbage collection, be it through
a monthly rate or through tax levy.
There is no requirement for a petition for the above, nor is there
any opportunity for a hearing in respect of anyone objecting to
the garbage collection, or associated charges. Accordingly, the
Town may, if it deems it advisable, arrange for Municipally-
administered garbage collection in any area, and charge the benefitting
owners through the tax bill .
The present contract in respect of the Village of Orono garbage
collection expires on December 31 , 1982; if Council wishes, the
appropriate arrangements could be made to have any other urban
areas included in the garbage collection contract when it is
tendered later this year.
Respectfully submitted,
R.G. Dupuis, P. Eng. ,
Director of Public Works.
August 31 , 1982.
