Unique IDAG-0096DescriptionThis Committee was appointed to call for expert advice, schemes, proposals, plans and specifications for the destruction of refuse.
Council had appointed two previous sub-committees on 9 June 1891 and 15 October 1895 to deal with disposal of refuse, but the records of these sub-committees do not appear to have survived.
The first meeting of the Garbage Disposal Committee was on 10 January 1899. For the first two years it concerned itself mostly with the disposal of garbage, designs for garbage receptacles, and the tipping of night soil. Later it became concerned with related issues such as the employment of rat-catchers, plague prevention, the appointment of sanitary inspectors, and the establishment of a laboratory.
The responsibilities of this Committee were taken over by CA 116, Health and By-Laws Committee. The last meeting was 22 January 1902.CreationResolution of Council 22 December 1898AbolitionLast meeting of the Committee, 22 January 1902
