While local waste haulers gear up to oppose a trash pickup overhaul plan in Springfield, the plan itself may get an overhaul.
Aldermen Cory Jobe and Doris Turner, appearing live on 970 WMAY’s “Ray Lytle Show” Wednesday, say they will tweak the ordinance based on concerns raised by the waste haulers and by residents who have attended town meetings on the issue.
They did not offer many details, except to say there will be a change in the base rate that residents would be charged for trash pickup through their CWLP bill.
But it’s not clear if the revisions will address other concerns from the waste haulers, including fears that the plan will create a costly new bureaucracy that will diminish service.
