Council staff updated members on the city's transition to a new trash collection service and the status of recycling collection.
Staff said the new collection schedule is slated to begin the week after next and that residents should expect communications about the change. Staff noted Republic Services and other parties remain in discussions with the city; the recycling program's future was unclear at the time of the meeting. Officials said county-operated drop-off locations are available for some recyclables and that residents should check county options if curbside recycling is interrupted.
Ending: Staff said they would continue coordination with contracted haulers and update councilors and the public on the recycling schedule and drop-off options as details are finalized.
