Resident urges caution on city-provided dumpster; mayor outlines designated collection approach
Summary
During public comment, resident Howard Hartley asked whether the city would provide a community dumpster and whether the county offers hazardous-materials collection; Mayor Randy Hettich suggested designated collection points and said littering will be ticketed.
During the public-comment portion of the March 9 meeting, resident Howard Hartley asked whether the City would provide a dumpster for residents and whether St. Clair County offers hazardous-materials collection. Hartley expressed concern that an unattended dumpster could be misused and said monitoring would be necessary if the city provided the service.
Mayor Randy Hettich responded that the city wants to help residents clean up the community and suggested establishing designated areas for scrap metal, recyclables and batteries to avoid rapid filling or misuse of a dumpster. He also said the city will ticket and fine anyone caught littering. The minutes do not state a final decision on providing a dumpster or creating a hazardous-waste collection program.
