Red Gate Trash Services pitches curbside carts, $16.50 monthly estimate to Northmoor board
Summary
Owners of Red Gate Trash Services presented a proposal to the Northmoor Board offering 95‑gallon carts, curbside bulk pickup and an estimated $16.50 monthly resident cost and recommended a five‑year contract with a rate‑cap clause; the board heard resident support but did not finalize a contract at the meeting.
Terry and Jacob, owners of Red Gate Trash Services, presented a service proposal to the Northmoor Board of Aldermen on Aug. 6 that would replace the city’s current refuse hauling arrangement, the owners said.
They described key features: "95 Gallon carts will be ordered and issued to each resident," an option for a second cart, curbside bulk pickup so residents would not have to haul items to city hall, at least one city clean‑up per year, and replacement of broken carts. Jacob recommended a five‑year contract containing a clause capping rate increases. The owners said they would not accept tire disposal and estimated a residential cost of about $16.50 per month.
A resident who attended the meeting expressed support for Red Gate and the owners said they aim to provide better customer service than the current vendor. The minutes record a roll call following the presentation, but the meeting notes do not include full text of any final contract approval, so the board did not finalize contract terms at the Aug. 6 meeting.
The board indicated the contract could begin Jan. 1, 2025 if both parties proceed, and the company said it could accommodate an earlier start if needed.
