On Tuesday, the standing committee on environmental protection, water and waste management approved a staff policy proposal to require organic-waste collection from multi-residential buildings receiving city garbage services, with an implementation date still being worked out.
Coun. Scott Moffatt, chair of the committee, said an organics strategy for multi-residential buildings should have accompanied the launch of the green bin program years ago, especially as a measure to satisfy the “put-or-pay” requirements for buildings under its processing contract with Convertus (formally Orgaworld).
