Saint John’s new recycling policy leaves apartment building tenants out
The City of Saint John’s new waste collection program goes into effect next Monday, and those who live in apartment buildings may be left without a convenient way to recycle.
So far, the city’s recycling policy has asked residents to take their recycling and drop it off inside large blue bins outside of grocery stores, which were operated by the city. But now, the city is removing these communal bins and instead giving residents who live in houses smaller ones to keep outside their home.
The program will cost roughly $3 million and will take between eight and nine years to pay off, and will not be available to those who are in apartment buildings — about 12,000 people according to StatsCanada. While the Fundy Regional Service Commission will still accept recycling outside of town, on Crane Mountain, the Saint John Landlords Association says those whose landlords include recycling will most likely have to pay more for rent.“You got to understand where the costs are coming from and why. And it’s not the landlords that are driving that up,” said Gerry Webster.
“Landlords keep downloading costs on them, and the tenants get used to it, because you’re going to have to pay for it. There’s no other way.”
