In the February edition of The Citizen, we reported that Niverville will be moving to an automated waste collection service using carts which will be provided to each household for free. Since that time, new information has come to light. The town has advised that, in fact, the new garbage carts will not be free.
“The cost of the waste carts will be levied through a five-year local improvement on property taxes,” said a notice from the town office. Only property owners who use the carts will be affected by the tax.
The notice adds that the waste cart is to remain with the property in the event that a transfer of ownership occurs.
The new carts are expected to go into effect this spring.
