Re-elect N.V: City Alderman
RALPH HALL - Nov. 21st.
A Candidate You Can Trust

Under Haul-Away’s

proposal, the municipality
would be charged $43.86 per
household annually, an
approximate total cost of
$462,460 per year.

If the company took over
commercial Pick-up and the
excess refuse service, as well
as residential pick-up, the
contract price would be the

same. The forecasted cost Sirloin, Porter
or municipal garbage 7
collection next year is House, T-Bone

$712,944. So the estimated ~
saving would be $230,484
although the municipality
would presmably lose some
revenue from the extra
services.

There was little discussion
of the matter at Monday's
council meeting but
Alderman Don _ Lanskail
pointed out that the
municipality would still
encourage ~~ recycling,
composting and _ other
methods of reducing the
amount of garbage.
