During Monday morning’s bid opening, three companies bid for recycling services: Deffenbaugh, Waste Management and RSP Inc of Horton.
Deffenbaugh and Waste Management also bid for solid waste services.

Commissioners hope to vote on a provider sometime next week.
They also heard concerns from the Walnut Township Fire District Three.
The fire district is looking to file a petition to get the remainder of the township in their district.
Schuele says they are looking for the best option tax-wise.

The fire district must now present a petition with 10 percent of the township citizen’s signatures for the merger.
If they get the signatures, it would not take effect until 2013.
