With the coming of dawn on Tuesday came the dawn of a new era in Ada’s solid waste management. Workers delivered the new, blue bins that will be used by Republic, the village’s new garbage hauler. Republic won a three-year contract with the village after outbidding Ada’s longtime garbage service provider, Waste Management, by 37 cents per customer per year.
The lower bid means savings for Ada’s residents, who will pay $14 per month for their solid waste management service, instead of $16.83.
Ada went from a green tote town to a blue tote town on Monday when trash service for most of the village changed from Waste Management to Republic Services. Republic brought 2,400 containers to Ada to begin pickup next Monday. (Monty Siekerman photo)
