Council discusses temporary dumpster services; compares vendors and costs
Summary
At the start of the meeting councilors reviewed options for short-term dumpster service, noting vendors' delivery/pickup constraints and estimated fees: $125 delivery, $225 haul, and $60 per ton disposal; Ace Disposal identified as available for Saturday delivery but Monday pickup.
Before the budget discussion, council members and residents reviewed options for temporary trash/dumpster service. Participants compared several vendors: Belman (cheaper rates but will not deliver on Saturday), Renewable Waste Management and Republic (require web forms instead of phone service), and Ace Disposal (can deliver Saturday morning and pick up Monday for a delivery fee quoted at $125 and $225 to haul, plus $60 per ton to dump). A local hauler and Larry Marshall were also mentioned as alternatives.
Speakers discussed how to drop and cover dumpsters to avoid misuse when placed early, and described one past arrangement in which a driver dropped dumpsters near a trailer and retrieved them afterward to avoid unauthorized use. No formal vendor contract was approved during the meeting; council members asked to be informed if an affordable and reliable local hauler is located so the town can proceed.
