The problem is that the municipality is getting a lot of other garbage mixed in with the brush, and there are environmental and safety concerns associated with the drop-off sites.
Mayor Andy Lennox says council will decide the fate of the drop-offs early in the new year.
SPS Board Chair Kelly Ash said the decision followed discussions with Acting Chief Mike Federico and aligns with practices at other police services.
