NWN. Van District Council
dumps container service

RESIDENTIAL CONTAINER
waste removal services are being
dumped by the District of North
Vancouver.

Council recently decided against
offering, a container service that
was provided on a limited trial
basis last year.

“The policy is not being pursued
simply because private en-
trepreneurs can do it) cheaper,”
said Ald. Ernie Crist.

In a report to council, engineer-
ing staff estimated that for a regu-
lar service it would cost $86 per
customer to deliver, dump, and

tremove a three cubic yard residen-
ual refuse container.

According to staff, the least ex-
pensive private container service

available locally charges $135 fora
10-cubie-vard box. Yard cleanup
odd-jobbers come in at an average
of $60 to $70 for similar services.
