The sponsors of Springfield’s proposed new waste hauling ordinance admit there are a lot of details to work out… which is why it wouldn’t take effect until 2014.
Aldermen Cory Jobe and Doris Turner say their plan… which calls for trash pickup to be paid for through your City Water Light and Power bill… is a sensible way to make sure everyone is disposing of their garbage legally, without creating major changes for most customers.
But they acknowledge that waste haulers and some customers have questions about the plan… and say the extended effective date will leave plenty of time to iron out any problems.
