Residents invited to test wheeled solid waste carts
NEWS RELEASE - Distributed August 9, 2017 8:59 AM
Summary
The City of Nanaimo has installed four informative displays aimed at helping residents learn more about the up coming automated solid waste collection program, Sort Toss Roll.
The displays are located in popular City facilities and provide information such as where and when the project will begin, how much it will cost and what can go in each cart. The displays also each feature an actual set of wheeled carts so that residents can see, touch and manoeuvre the carts before they are delivered to their homes.
Link to Strategic Plan: Commitment to being an excellent municipal government.
Key Points
- The displays are available until 27 October and are located at: Nanaimo Aquatic Centre, Beban Social Centre, The Service and Resource Centre and Bowen Park Complex.
- An additional display will be added at Oliver Woods Community Centre on September 4th.
- There is also a display available at Woodgrove Centre, near the food court. As well there are pop up displays at other malls throughout the City.
