Cecilton plans to rebid trash collection; residents seek two cans and same‑day pickup
Summary
With the town's Corey Sanitation contract expiring at the end of June, council directed staff to advertise bids and include options for two household cans, a yard‑waste can and recycling with same‑day pickup; Corey Sanitation may rebid.
The Town of Cecilton will solicit bids to replace its trash-collection contract, which expires at the end of June, the council learned at the Jan. 21 meeting.
Administrator Cooper said the contract will be advertised and that Corey Sanitation will be given an opportunity to submit a bid. Council members discussed service-level options informed by resident feedback: some residents want two household cans with once-weekly pickup, others prefer twice-weekly pickup; the council also discussed reinstating a yard‑waste can and maintaining a recycling can with pickup scheduled on the same day as household waste.
Administrator Cooper said the town will set its expectations in the bid documents and provide council members time to review proposals before awarding the contract. No timetable or contract value was provided in the minutes.
