PIEDMONT - A Piedmont City Council member would like to see the town revisit the idea of contracting with a garbage hauler for the residents.
Paul Coleman has taken a look at what other towns in the area do with their residents’ garbage, and notes that by contracting with a hauler, the city could turn the problem of accumulating garbage into a source of revenue.
Several years ago Piedmont itself hauled garbage for the town residents, but when the city-owned trash truck broke down, the city officials at the time decided it would be too expensive to replace the equipment.
