New Start Time for Solid Waste Contract Committee Meeting

The start time for the April 28, 2010 (tonight) Solid Waste Contract Committee meeting will be at 5:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the City/County Building. The Committee decided that additional time would be needed as it hears presentations from vendors tonight, so the meeting was moved up 30 minutes from what was originally published.

The Solid Waste Contract Committee was formed earlier this year to review current collection programs and provide direction for bid specifications. The Committee consists of four neighborhood representatives, three City Council members and two representatives of the Division of Public Works.

Last year 98,210 tons of garbage and 9,097 tons of recyclable products was collected from Fort Wayne neighborhoods.
