South Bruce Peninsula Council has approved a contract proposal to truck curbside waste out of town.
Council approved a recommendation to award a $1.4 million two-year contract to the Waste Management of Canada Corporation.
The goal is to extend the life of the landfill in South Bruce Peninsula, which has about 6.5 years left.
Earlier this year, GM Blueplan consultants told Town councillors it would be less costly to truck waste away that it would be to create the additional landfill capacity to accommodate that waste.
Back in July, some of the options discussed by staff and council to reduce waste included bi-weekly pickup instead of every week, composting, more waste diversion and recycling, bag tags, clear bags and increased education about waste.
