The report also accuses the company of continuing to work with a blacklisted subcontractor operating under a different name.
Environmental 360 Solutions says in the report that it awarded the contracts to ensure waste-management services remained efficient despite a labour shortage.
The inspector general’s office says the city should not renew its contract with the waste-management company.
As well, it says the subcontractors involved should be blacklisted for five years.
