Emterra, the company tasked with picking up our garbage and recycling, has been served notice, improve service or you will be replaced.
The region's public works committee directing staff yesterday to start looking at the cost of hiring another company to take over the job.
Emterra has been under fire for months for failing to collect garbage and recyclables on time.
A report by the region's waste management department has found Emterra only completed collection on seven days on or before 5 pm between March 19th and June 19th of this year.
The company has blamed staff shortages and mechanical problems with trucks for the pickup delays.
