Council asks staff to draft ordinance to renew Kimble solid-waste contract; 95‑gallon tote option noted
Summary
Carrolton council heard from Gary Adkins of the Kimble Company about a proposed 2026 solid-waste contract that would offer customers an optional 95-gallon tote. Council voted 6-0 to have an ordinance drawn up for consideration at the next meeting.
The Carrolton Village Council on Jan. 12 heard from Gary Adkins, Kimble Sales Manager, about the company's 2026 solid-waste contract proposal and directed staff to prepare an ordinance for council consideration at the next meeting.
Adkins described the renewal proposal and told the council that customers would have the option of a 95-gallon tote can for trash collection; council members asked questions about recycling during the discussion. Following that exchange, Councilmember Tangler moved to have an ordinance drafted for the next meeting so the contract could be considered formally; Councilmember Barto seconded. The motion passed on a 6-0 roll-call vote.
The minutes record that the VA report included the Kimble proposal and noted that an ordinance is required to proceed. The meeting record does not include contract price, term length, specific recycling provisions, or whether the tote option is optional at no charge or for an additional fee; those details were not provided in the minutes and are therefore not reported here.
Next step: staff will prepare an ordinance for the council's next meeting to authorize the contract renewal and any related service options.
