Prince George city council has directed administration to bring back a report in time for the 2027 budget deliberations outlining options for a large item community disposal program. The report will include operational considerations, service impacts, costs, potential delivery models, and recommendations for Council’s consideration.
Council also asked that the report include information on service calls and associated costs related to illegal dumping within city limits.
The direction came from a notice of motion introduced last month. It was originally scheduled to be discussed at the June 8 meeting but was deferred.
The notice of motion noted that many residents accumulate household items that do not fit in standard curbside waste carts, creating a barrier to proper disposal and, in some cases, contributing to illegal dumping.
