Deputy Mayor of Ferryland Harry Bryan said a concern over garbage collection in the town was addressed almost as soon as it was raised.
During the March council meeting, councilor Otto Clowe reported that garbage had not been picked up at the RCMP detachment for some weeks and that several residents had complained of issues with garbage collection.
Staff were instructed to forward those complaints to the Eastern Regional Service Board.
“That was a bit of a misunderstanding I think,” said Bryan. “Every once in a while, a driver will change or something like that, and they won’t realize they need to stop at a certain place. There was one phone call, and they were down the next day and picked up the garbage and it’s been back online ever since.”
Bryan noted that the no residents had officially logged complaints with the Town office in regards to issues with garbage, and that the Town receives very few complaints about garbage collection overall.
