Waste Management Concerns

Declining revenues and higher operating costs for waste management within the town of Fort Frances is among issues impacting the budget.

Councillor Ken Perry says the town needs to find ways of generating revenue through recycling to help offset costs.

"We can't keep paying $4.00 a bag for recycling and $2.00 a bag for dumping garbage at the dump," says Perry. "It's going to get worse and worse."

Perry says there is some interest in the community to do a pilot project, but the proponent has yet to make his proposal public.
