Mayor John Tory says he is determined to fulfill a campaign vow to outsource garbage collection east of Yonge St.Tory told reporters at a Monday morning at a news conference outside a Scarborough home that he doesn't need to wait for a January city staff report on whether the move will actually save the city money. He wants staff to report back in January on ways to outsource and then immediately launch a bid process. “Now we must test the market and see if perhaps there is a better deal, and better service can be done for less money...,” said Tory. “The city is saving millions of dollars contracting out garbage in the west end of the city. We need to get the same savings and level of service for residents in the rest of Toronto.”
