A popular residential service is returning to Vicksburg this fall.
Village council members last week approved funding a curbside junk pickup. The service will be offered in September.
Village Manager Jim Mallery said a $35,000 contract will be formalized with College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Inc. to perform the service.
He noted the service was previously conducted in the spring but, due to limited availability by the company, the village had no choice but to work around College Hunks’ schedule.
Mallery said longtime village residents might recall the curbside service eventually evolved into a drop-off event at the little league complex by Sunset Elementary. He said the fall collection will be assessed and a decision made afterward to determine the fate of the curbside service.
