The City of Saskatoon issued a news release April 24 indicating that the green cart curbside organjics collection process will continue, and that residents will not be saddled with additional costs. The news release stated:
“In an 8-1 vote, the Rural Municipality of Corman Park Council declined a discretionary use application from Green Prairie Environmental (GPE). The application was to operate an organics composting facility located next to the GPE landfill that has been operating in the RM for many years.
“Following a public procurement process, the City awarded in September 2020 a contract to GPE to provide organics processing services to support the City’s Curbside Organics Program.
“The City’s contract with GPE requires a contingency plan in the event that GPE faces any challenges to fully deliver service. This was a pre-condition to moving forward.
Residents should know that any extra cost of the contingency will be carried by GPE and not the City.
“The City continues to prepare for the launch of the program next week and collections will not be affected by this RM Council decision. All eligible residences will have their green bins by the end of this week.
