Concerned Citizens of French River Waste Management
It is unacceptable that our Mayor and Council chose to ignore the recommendations put forth by a professional consultant, municipal staff, the Environmental Advisory Committee, and the results of a community survey. Their actions are a blatant disregard for the voices and concerns of the community they are meant to serve.
History
IOur Mayor and Council's decision to implement a two-location 40-ton bin waste management system has left residents worried about the potential levy or increase in taxes that they will have to bear. As residents of this community, we believe that it is our responsibility to voice our concerns and ensure that our opinions are heard. We urge the Mayor and Council to reconsider their decision and adopt the recommended weekly curbside pickup. This approach has been suggested by a paid professional consultant, municipal staff, the Environmental Advisory Committee, and the residents of our community. Join us in signing this petition to show our Mayor and Council that we prefer a more cost-effective waste management system that will benefit our community in the long run.

Make a Difference
Join us in our mission to petition our Mayor and Council to reconsider their decision and adopt weekly curbside pickup.
Residents of French River are facing difficult financial times, so any increase in taxes or levies would be a huge burden. Curbside pickup is the most cost-effective solution, offering an equitable service to all without any extra spending. This is the most beneficial option for everyone, empowering the whole population to remain above water during an already challenging time.
The new proposed bin system will come with continual costs in maintenance and repairs, on top of the initial start-up expenses.
We urge you to reach out to our Mayor and Council. Have your voice heard. Email our Mayor and councillors to urge them to put into place curbside pickup, as per the original survey results and supporting consultant reports.
