THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

3. Section 3 should also be amended to specify that
where plastic bags are used in place of receptacles, they be
tied and not over-filled and that any cleanup resulting from
the use of such bags where the bags have been torn, spilled or
broken open for any reason, shall be the responsibility of the
user.-

4. Section 9 should be amended by adding the following:

"In addition to the service provided above, the City will accept
for pickup certain bulky items which will not fit into the stand-
ard receptacles. These items include household appliances,
boxes and crates, tree cuttings and other household cleanup
materials but do not include vehicle bodies or construction
and demolition debris."

5. Section 9 should also he amended to say that "In
addition to the three standard receptacles which will be picked
up, the City will also pickup any plastic bags containing grass
clippings or other light weight rubbish."

6. A paragraph should be added to the regulations
Section 3 after item i as follows: "Where loose materials such
as tree cuttings are put out they shall be bundled and tied in
lengths not exceeding 4~feet and weight not exceeding 75-pounds"

If Council approves of these suggested by-law changes,
we would propose toprint a special pamphlet describing the changes
to garbage pickup and cleanup weeks and to distribute it to all
householders. We hope to also shortly be bringing to Council
a proposal for the change from three-man to two-man garbage
pickup crews and this change would require some route changes.
These route changes would also be advertised at the same time
as the changes to the garbage by-law.

Respectfully submitted,

LUG.
