Student Resource Homes in the City The news article on this page talks about garbage, something produced in every home! Individuals must ensure that garbage does not collect or accumulate on their property. How do you think individual citizens should share in the responsibility and cost of managing garbage for the entire city Why do you think this City talks trash, could cost you more cash By Gordon Kent EDMONTONJOURNAL.COM February 23, 2012 EDMONTON - The public could have its say this spring on whether homeowners should be charged for the amount of garbage they throw out, says a report released Thursday. The five options include cutting fees for singlefamily homes that don’t produce more than one container each of trash and recyclables each collection period, allowing them to buy tags for extra junk, or letting them put out extra waste free, twice a year. The other suggestions are keeping the current $33.20 monthly flat fee, or introducing a base fee that covers one container each of trash and recyclables at every collection and charging for additional material. The last choice is similar to tag-a-bag schemes the city has studied four times in the past 20 years, which supporters felt would reward people who cut down on their garbage. But there were complaints the proposal penalized large, low-income families and people who dispose of material related to medical conditions. There were also concerns about extra administration costs and illegal dumping by people trying to save money. The latest public consultation plan would give people a chance in April to complete an online survey, phone in comments or attend one of four open houses. Excerpted with the express permission of the Edmonton Journal, a division of Postmedia Network Inc. What do City of Edmonton bylaws say about garbage The Waste Management Bylaw helps to maintain a clean, safe and efficient system for the collection, removal and disposal of waste from residential and commercial property throughout the municipality. Improperly stored waste can become a nuisance when there is too much garbage that has broken open and not been cleaned up. 86 Make A Better City
Student Resource Homes in the City Animals usually thought as belonging on farms – such as chickens and bees – have started to come to some cities. Read the blog note and two news articles on this page and page 88. Why do you think people want to keep farm animals on city properties Do you think they should have the right to keep any type of animal on their own private property Why or why not What responsibilities should these animal owners have to the community Why should they have these responsibilities I have some questions about chickens in the backyard. What will happen to all the chicken manure It smells. What about the pests that chickens and their food might attract Do people really need to have chickens in their backyards I think these are issues that need to be taken very seriously. Maybe if you want to raise chickens, you should buy an acreage in the country, where you can also grow your own vegetables and even have a goat if you want! Find more information, perspectives and opinions about backyard chickens by searching for “river city chickens Edmonton” or going directly to www.rivercitychickens.org. Joanne City squawks at urban chickens; Woman says she’ll keep poultry despite risk of $500 fine; Chicken coop draws bylaw warning Liane Faulder EDMONTON JOURNAL March 29, 2012 Edmonton homeowner Crystal Sherris wants to keep her backyard chickens but the city’s bylaw enforcement branch is crying fowl. Sherris has had eight laying hens and a coop behind her home near Bonnie Doon shopping centre for the past year. But the flock is in jeopardy after she received a warning from the city last week. It instructed her to remove Jeanie, Snookie, Rosa and their feathered friends or face a $500 fine. In an interview Wednesday, Sherris said she doesn’t plan to comply. Make A Better City 87
