Paterson Council Waste Program Reaches 59.2% Collection Target
What happened
Stavros Michael reported on the council waste program in Paterson, which costs $2.45 million annually and aims to reduce landfill waste and carbon footprint. After five weeks, 59.2% of eligible households used the new FOGO bins, missing the council’s target range of 60% to 65%. Michael noted that 10% of properties experienced confusion due to database anomalies regarding collection zones and pick-up dates.
