Vicksburg Village Council members plan to look at the feasibility of a municipal-wide, single waste-service provider.
Village President Tim Frisbie said he likes the idea of choosing his own waste hauler, though he conceded village streets take a beating with several garbage trucks operated by different companies making their rounds weekly.
Council member Ryan Wagner offered to spearhead the issue. He said he looked into the matter in the past as a Homeowners Association member in the Centennial neighborhood. Three different waste-service providers – Republic, Waste Management, and Best Way – service Centennial.
Council members concurred that considering a community the size of Vicksburg, there might be potential for a financial benefit to customers if the job is awarded to a single provider of such services.
Mallery said the village can at least investigate the proposal and hopefully have more information to share in time for its September meeting. He reiterated further discussion would merely be for informational and educational purposes.
