Springfield’s waste hauling ordinance is headed to the recycling bin, for now.
Aldermanic sponsors Cory Jobe and Doris Turner decided to hold the proposal in committee after determining that it did not have enough votes to advance.
But Jobe says he will meet with waste haulers to see if further changes can be made that will ease their concerns.
Opponents fear that having the city take over billing for waste hauling will add to bureaucracy and cost… a claim that Jobe denies.
