It appears there were fewer problems in week two of private garbage collection west of Yonge.

City councillor and Public Works Committee Chair Denzil Minnan-Wong tells the Star that complaints about the service have dropped significantly.

He says the city received about 60 complaints a day last week, down frommore than 250 a day in the first week.

Before private collector Green for Life took over, the city received about 50 complaints a day about garbage pickup.

GFL trucks are still not meeting consistently meeting the mandatory 6 p.m. pickup deadline, which the city wants to see within the next two weeks.
