Town of Battleford talks trash at council
Town of Battleford residents who want to replace their tired, worn garbage containers will need to cover the expense if they want a brand new container.
Council discussed the issue at its last meeting and agreed with administration’s recommendation for homeowners to cover the cost of replacing their old containers if they want a new one.
While the containers that were provided to residents for free are reaching the end of their design life, it would be too expensive for the town to fork over between $140,000 to $180,000, to replace all the containers in the community.
If residents have problems with a faulty wheel or need a part replacement they can come to the town hall office to discuss the matter to see if the town can help replace the broken part.
