A recent statistically valid survey found 51 per cent of Cranbrook residents would support curbside organics collection.
The survey was conducted between March 31 and April 25 and sent to 1,600 randomly selected households.
City staff say 25 per cent of residents would oppose curbside organics.
Changes could also come to the city’s other forms of collections.
Fifty-three per cent of respondents s support switching to bi-weekly garbage pickup with the existing bin, while another 12 per cent would support if there was a bigger bin supplied.
Sixty-three per cent support offering three size options for garbage carts.
“This information will help guide Council’s discussions moving forward on service improvements to our solid waste collection, and future recreation and childcare planning,” said Mayor Wayne Price.
“On behalf of Council, I am grateful for the important feedback from our residents, which we are very happy to have. Thank you to everyone who participated in this survey.”
Council will be discussing the survey findings further during the next committee of the whole meeting on June 16.
