Greencastle Borough Council is moving toward having just one trash collection company serve the community.
At the July 5 meeting, council authorized staff to work with solicitor Salzmann Hughes to begin the process of establishing a single trash hauler. Five companies currently serve the borough: Waste Connections, Parks, Worthys, Waste Management and Republic Services.
"We're looking to comprehensively improve services in the borough," said Steve Miller, council president.
In addition, council has been talking about a single hauler for nearly a year in connection with a ban on open burning.
During the public comment period, Albert Miller said now is not the time to make the change. He ran with a group of candidates in the primary that secured the Republican nominations for the four seats on council in the November election.
