The City of Springdale has had the same basic waste removal contract since former Mayor Charles McKinney signed with Sun Ray Services on December 12, 1995.An eight page addendum was approved in March 2007 by Mayor Jerre Van Hoose making the city responsible for billing and collection of residential payments.
Another two page amendment is currently to be added renewing Waste Management's contract for another five years.
The minutes do not say exactly what the council's response was, but apparently it was no.

ReplyDeleteIS MORE BETTER? Sooner or later Springdale will run out of options on land-fills.
Presently the personal fees/rate structures favor MORE IS BETTER regarding our waste stream.
Why not make the Yellow Bag program mandatory? Allow Waste Management to charge a reasonable recovery/profit per bag. Let each household pay for their ACTUAL waste stream.
My West Coast brother pays $155.month for sanitation. That's what growth does to an area.
If he doesn't sort his garbage into recyclables and organics the fee goes to $225 per month.
Why not have a program that looks to the future? Reduce and recycle. It's later than you think. Springdale isn't a small, Ozark town anymore. Oklahoma will one day refuse to bury our trash.
