An ordinance that could change trash pickup across Springfield could be introduced within the next couple of weeks, but by the time you find out what’s in it, a deal could already be cut to pass it.
Mayor Mike Houston says he won’t disclose the details on the trash ordinance until the votes are lined up to pass it.
Some ideas that have been floated include requiring city residents to pay for waste hauling through their CWLP bills, and dividing the city into zones, which each zone having a designated day of the week for pickup, or perhaps even a designated waste hauler.
