A newly incorporated Toronto waste collection company has won the right to do curbside pickup in Kelowna and in the rest of the Central Okanagan for the next decade.

Environmental 360 Solutions Inc. was selected last month by the City of Kelowna, which conducted the request for proposals on behalf of the entire region. Kelowna’s OK Environmental Waste Systems currently does the waste collection in the region, but its contract will expire on April 30.

Environmental 360 Solutions is a new company whose stakeholders include former Edmonton Oilers star defenceman Paul Coffey, but it is led by waste management veteran Danny Ardellini. The company currently does waste pickup in Ontario and in Alberta, and it has big plans for Kelowna.
