If you live in the Municipality of the C0unty of Inverness and need to get rid of some heavy garbage, you may soon get the chance.
At a regular council meeting early this month, Council talked about planning a pick-up.
Warden Laurie Cranton tells The Hawk, he’s received complaints of illegal dumping, and he hopes this will curb the behaviour.
“It gives people that maybe tend to illegally dump — which is a terrible thing to be doing — another opportunity to get rid of that garbage.”
Council was in support of the idea, Cranton says.
But organizing a heavy pick up isn’t cheap.
” You’re talking over $100,000 for the municipality to have a heavy item pick up where people can put out old fridges, stoves and chesterfields.”
Council is currently working to figure out the most efficient way to roll out a pick up, he says.
They hope to get the process moving forward soon.
