Clive Doucet would reinstate weekly garbage pickup during the summer months if he was elected mayor, he announced at a mayoral debate in rural south Ottawa Tuesday night. I think I would support June, July, August weekly garbage pick up," he said during the debate. Doucet did not immediately say what reverting to weekly garbage collection for three months of the year would cost. "Some people have suggested 'Let's go back weekly garbage and let's scrap the green bin' and all sorts of ideas. Mayoral candidate Doucet supports a return to weekly garbage pickup in the summer months, but incumbent Jim Watson says the financial and environmental costs are too high.
