Should the City expand municipal waste collection to residents who don't currently receive it?

Here's the situation

Several private townhouse condo locations within Vaughan have infrastructure and/or roads that do not align with the standard requirements set by the City. As a result, these areas are currently excluded from receiving municipal residential waste collection services. Instead, residents in these locations often engage private contracting services to manage their waste disposal needs (typically paid for through their condominium fees).

To extend residential waste collection services to these specific locations, the City would need to invest in specialized collection equipment that can navigate the unique challenges at these locations. This equipment might include vehicles with enhanced maneuverability or adaptability to handle the road layouts that deviate from typical residential subdivisions.

However, it's important to note that introducing such specialized equipment and services to facilitate collection from these unique areas may result in higher contract costs which may have an impact on taxes.
