The Trashman Cometh

Well, last night the council passed a new ordinance concerning trash, recycling etc, along with an administrative code.

Months ago, after many citizens expressed concerns that the city was leaning to a single hauler system the council and staff indicated that anyone who met the requirements could haul trash in Shawnee.

Now, here's the rub...........have the requirments been written so as to make it extremely difficult if not impossible for the smaller haulers to compete? Are the insurance requirements realistic? Will we wind up with a de facto single hauler anyway?

Do you have any comments about this? If so, go here to post them:
