Mayor says upcoming trash contract likely to include curbside bulk-item pickup
Summary
Mayor said bids were opened July 23 for the city's trash contract and that forthcoming contract will likely include household bulk-item pickup such as mattresses and furniture.
Mayor (name not specified), mayor of Anniston, said the city opened bids for trash services on July 23 and that the forthcoming contract will likely include pickup for household bulk items such as mattresses and furniture in addition to regular trash collection.
The mayor said multiple bids were received and that some bidders included bulk-item pickup while others did not. "So what we are including in this is household trash items, so your bulk items like your match mattresses, furniture, etcetera, as well as regular trash services," the mayor said, adding that the change is "likely to change very soon in the near future" and that the city will update the community within about a month.
No contract award or vendor selection was announced during the update. The mayor described the matter as a procurement in progress: a bid opening has occurred and the council or city staff are reviewing options before any contract is finalized.
