Coats hires Carolina Trash & Septic for leaf pickup; board approves $12,954 budget amendment
Summary
With the town's leaf truck out of service, the board approved continuing temporary leaf collection with Carolina Trash & Septic at $215 per hour and a $12,954 budget amendment to cover the season.
Town Manager Barbara Hollerand and Public Works Director Wesley Blount told commissioners the town’s Leaf Truck remained out of service and that several municipalities are now relying on private haulers for leaf pickup. Staff recommended continuing the temporary arrangement with Carolina Trash & Septic at a rate of $215 per hour until the truck is repaired.
Commissioners approved the $215/hour quote and a related budget amendment totaling $12,954 for the remainder of the season. Blount estimated Carolina Trash would require about eight hours every two weeks to complete town leaf pickup; staff said they would evaluate repairs after the new year. The motion passed unanimously.
