The proposed changes to Springfield’s trash collection system can serve as a model of a public-private partnership that benefits the interests of business and government, according to Alderman Cory Jobe.
Jobe is responding to critics who say the pending ordinance opens the door to a City Hall takeover of waste pickup.
He says it’s not a takeover, it’s both sides working together for everyone’s benefit.
An amended version of the waste hauling ordinance is expected to be made public ahead of Tuesday’s city council committee-of-the-whole meeting.
