Garbage Complaints

The town of Fort Frances says some residents aren't following rules regarding the disposal of their household waste.

Operations and Facilities Manager Doug Brown says they're getting complaints of some not putting their garbage out by 8 a.m.

"Our contractor is continuously getting phone calls from people who say they've had it out," says Brown. "The contractor is now doing a survey to record if there have been any missed bags."

Brown says some residents are also placing extra bags to the curb without attaching bag tags.

He says bags without tags just won't be picked up.

The town is also issuing notices to residents who are not in compliance of the current by-law, and suggests charges may be pursued against repeat offenders.
