Prince George City Council will consider replacing a garbage truck at tomorrow’s (Monday) meeting.
According to a staff report, one of the City’s garbage trucks was in a serious motor vehicle accident on Foothills Boulevard on May 13, 2024, resulting in the unit being written off by ICBC.
It also states the City received $375,000 from the insurance recovery, and those proceeds have been deposited into the City’s Solid Waste Reserve Fund.
Staff is seeking a budget approval of $750,000 from the Solid Waste Reserve to replace the unit.
According to the staff report, the waiting period for delivery of a new collection vehicle is approximately 12-18 months once the purchase process is completed.
Other items to be discussed at tomorrow’s meeting includes reports on proposed amendments to the Official Community Plan, and funding support for the 2026 Olympic Trials set to take place at the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club.
