Meeker approves switch to Eastside Waste citing service issues with incumbent
Summary
After discussion about communication problems, tracking of containers and contract terms, the Board voted unanimously to terminate service with Central Disposal/GFL and approve Eastside Waste as the town’s new trash provider; implementation timeline is uncertain.
The Board reviewed a proposed agreement to transition the town’s trash service from Central Disposal/GFL to Eastside Waste after reporting persistent communication and customer-service problems with the incumbent. The Town Administrator outlined contract provisions including a 12‑month term with automatic renewal, a 90‑day notice of non-renewal and insurance requirements, and the Town Attorney noted the town may have grounds to terminate the existing agreement for breach.
Trustees raised concerns about street wear from large trash trucks, methods to improve tracking and accountability of residential containers, service for the sewer plant roll-off dumpster, and whether additional limited-use dumping options could be offered to residents. Following discussion Trustee Aaron Head moved to terminate service with GFL and approve Eastside Waste; Trustee Kenneth Massey seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The minutes record the vote but do not specify a start date for the new service provider.
