The City of Winnipeg released a statement Monday saying it is considering replacing Winnipeggers’ damaged recycling and garbage bins for free.
The city’s Standing Policy Committee on Infrastructure Renewal and Public Works will be looking at the new cart replacement policy on Jan. 16.
The city’s Solid Waste By-law currently holds the owner(s) of bins responsible for paying to replace them if anyone besides the contractor, Emterra, damages or vandalizes them.
