The cost of $107 a tonne is a regional cost. The region manages all the waste garbage transfer stations and the landfill. It is the city's responsibility to collect the waste. Our savings are entirely on our waste collection system, which is on the backs of the taxpayers.
The regional system is also on the backs of the taxpayers, but it's dispersed among 22 municipalities versus waste collection in Surrey, which is dispersed just through our own customer base.
