Goodbye blue totes, hello red totes as Wright Refuse replaces Republic as the trash hauler in town.

New totes, different color. Wright will be picking up trash next week. When the blue totes from Republic are emptied Tuesday morning.

Leave the Republic totes at the curb for Republic to retrieve after they are emptied on Tuesday.

Council accepted Wright’s bid, which was the lowest, for a new three-year contract. The water/sewer/trash bill will increase with the December billing. The trash portion of the bill has been $14 a month for the past three years. It will now be $17.25.
