Also called \u0022partial pay\u002Das\u002Dyou\u002Dthrow,” the system makes residents pay extra for garbage pickup if they throw out too much.
The city also hopes to divert more waste through recycling and green bin programs. The Ontario government wants municipalities to be collecting 70 per cent of food and organic waste in curbside green bins by the end of 2023. Ottawa is short of this goal.
City staff also propose expanding a program that allows eligible residents to set out diapers and incontinence products for collection even on off-weeks. This would not count toward a household’s annual allotment of tags. Q. If we throw out less garbage, and people also pay for extra tags, will our municipal taxes go down?
A. The city says 132 other municipalities in Ontario use pay-as-you-throw models. For instance, In Kingston, residents can throw out one untagged bag per week, with additional bags requiring tags which cost $2 each.
