Blue Ridge grants non‑exclusive garbage franchise to Goco Construction Waste Management
Summary
Council accepted a non‑exclusive franchise application from Goco Construction Waste Management after a company representative described operations and capacity. No opposition spoke and the council voted to accept the application.
The Blue Ridge City Council voted to accept a non‑exclusive franchise application from Goco Construction Waste Management on July 21.
Applicant Josh Golden described the company’s services and scale: "We've been in business since 2004. ... we have 18 employees," he told the council, adding that his company runs roll‑off and front‑load dumpsters and operates transfer stations. Golden said the company had supplied services to the city in the past and would provide front‑end, commercial dumpsters (two, four, six and eight‑yard sizes) under the proposed franchise.
No members of the public registered opposition during the hearing. A council member moved to accept the application and the motion carried. Council did not record individual vote tallies in the meeting transcript. The franchise is non‑exclusive; staff will finalize contract terms and any municipal service requirements with the applicant.
