Mayfield reviews White Sanitation proposals, opts to revisit contract in July
Summary
White Sanitation presented two contract options for weekly residential pickup: a flat $13 monthly rate or an incremental plan that raises the base by $0.50 annually; council favored an incremental approach for residents and asked to finalize the contract at the July meeting.
White Sanitation presented annual contract options to the Mayfield Town Council as the five‑year agreement reaches renewal.
The company offered a flat increase that would set the base residential rate at $13 per month, or an alternate structure that raises the base by $0.50 each year (an incremental approach that spreads the increase over the five‑year term). A company representative explained the proposals reflected post‑COVID price pressures including container costs that have risen from about $45 to near $70 for some models.
The proposals keep the $4 per‑household landfill/tonnage fee separate and unchanged at the time of the presentation. The council discussed fairness to fixed‑income residents and billing simplicity; several members said the stepped increase could be easier for residents to absorb, while acknowledging the five‑year cumulative cost would be similar to a flat increase.
Council directed staff to place final contract approval on the July agenda so members can review original contract documents and reach a decision with the full council present.
What happens next: White Sanitation's proposals will return to the July meeting for formal approval; the clerk noted the contract effective date would be August 1 if finalized.
