Starlee Speers - Vernon 105.7 SUNFM
If big cities like Vancouver can lose the dumpsters, why can't Vernon? The new blue bag recycling program will start as scheduled next Monday despite protests from Vernon businesses. Councillor Mary Jo O'Keefe says there seems to be some misunderstanding about the program. She says businesses have valid concerns but the programs should go ahead as planned. O'Keefe also points to three surveys conducted by the DVA which showed the majority of people were in favour of the program. One of the concerns cited is that picking up recycling only three times a week will see cardboard build-up. O'Keefe says however the blue bag program doesn't involve cardboard unless they put it in and businesses can continue on with their current cardboard removal systems.
