Now that Ottawa is pulling the plug on Plasco, it’s still unknown how the city
will replace the household waste disposal company, but it can get a start on
turning a new leaf by settling its tab with the failed company. Despite a city
report tabled Wednesday saying the firm owed the city $28,000 a late breaking
email from the city’s communications shop notified media there’d been a mistake.
In fact the city owed Plasco $15,017.31. The company filed for creditor
protection on Tuesday so it can use every penny. Plasco also laid off 80
employees – with a month’s pay – and is hoping to find new investors or buyers.
