The Town of Yorktown is demanding $3.5 million from Competitive Carting Corp., of Mahopac, its former refuse hauler, for suddenly ceasing to collect trash.
A refuse hauler claims that the Town of Yorktown created a fictitious emergency to justify rejecting its bid for a municipal garbage hauling contract. AAA Carting and Rubbish Removal, of Buchanan, accused Yorktown of violating state competitive bidding laws.
