Kenora City Council is debating whether to purchase a new garbage truck.
The city currrently has two trucks in use, but Operations Manager Rick Perchuck says both have been plagued by mechanical problems.
He adds the new truck would be a combination garbage truck and recycling pick-up vehicle.
He says ideally they would like to have at least three trucks in their fleet, so if one goes down with mechanical problems, they still have two on the road.
