The ALLU Screener Bucket is the newest addition to the city’s public works fleet.
City Councillor Chris Mayne says the unit will be able to screen all of the previously unusable excavation material, and turn it into material that can be used for projects like road repairs in the city.
Mayne says the new bucket is worth about $100,000, and that it will save the city about $50,000 per year in purchasing materials for repairs.
Mayne says the new ALLU screener bucket can process about 1,000 tonnes of material per day, and that North Bay is one of the first Ontario municipalities to start using the screener bucket.
