Jesse Watamanuk, assistant city engineer, demonstrates how light and manoueverable the new 95-gallon (430 litres) garbage bins will be for the City of Weyburn's new automated refuse system at Monday night's council meeting; the new system should be in place by the start of January of 2011. City clerk Donette Rasmussen, city manager Bob Smith and Coun. Dick Michel watch at left. Every household in the city is to get one of these bins, which is to be rolled out to the curb for pickup and rolled back once it's done; the cost is to be absorbed into the current cost of garbage pickup in the city. The capacity of the bin is the equivalent of about four or five garbage bags; no excess bags left outside the bin will be picked up. The city is inviting comments and questions on the new system to go to the engineering department.
