Presented by Councillor McIntosh:
WHEREAS licensed home child care providers offer a valuable service to the community that allow parents to attend work and school with the confidence of knowing that their children are receiving regulated quality care in a small group setting;
AND WHEREAS licensed home child care providers are mostly located in low density residential homes that would be eligible for the fee based Yellow Bag non-residential roadside garbage collection every other week that does not offer the option of a weekly diaper collection program;
AND WHEREAS diapers are known to be an odorous waste that cannot be diverted through the City's existing diversion programs;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Greater Sudbury directs Staff to collaborate with the Children's Services Section to provide a report to the June 21, 2021 Operations Committee, identifying funding and program options to provide weekly diaper collection to licensed home child care providers eligible for the Yellow Bag non-residential roadside garbage collection program.
