Disposal Of Refuse
Disposal Of Refuse.
The house refuse is collected without cost to the householder. Some premises are visited daily, others twice a week, the cost of the contract being about £1,080 per annum. The refuse from the streets is made available for filling up reserves to the streerts' levels, and also on sections that require making up to the same height.
