City looking at moving garbage collection to bi-weekly schedule – Prince George Daily News

Council was presented with a report outlining options and impacts of a change to a bi-weekly schedule for solid waste pick up including compost service options.

According to the report, the first step in moving towards bi-weekly garbage collection is the development of a Solid Waste Management Plan designed specifically for the City of Prince George that would create a waste reduction roadmap with specific target initiatives;

Council gave approval for staff to procure professional services to assist with the formulation of a City of Prince George Solid Waste Management Plan. The plan would help inform the requirements for implementing a bi-weekly collection model. Ideally, this process would begin in 2024.

Council also approved a motion to coordinate a presentation by the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George to expand on requirements for diverting recyclables/compostables. The regional district operates the Foothills Boulevard Regional Landfill and the associated waste diversion programs.
