(KLZA)--The Humboldt City Council is gathering information concerning mandatory trash service.

During the October 17th Council meeting, the Council listened to presentations and reviewed correspondence from several trash collection companies.

RJ Hamilton, owner of Hamilton Recycling in Falls City presented information on what his company could offer the City of Humboldt for mandatory trash service. Hamilton said his goal is to recycle first and divert all they can from the landfill.

The Council also reviewed a mandatory solid waste disposal agreement between Pawnee City and Seneca Sanitation. Several e-mails and faxes from other trash collection companies were also reviewed including P & J Solid Waste Management, Falls City Sanitation and Seneca Sanitation.

City Attorney Dylan Handley informed the Council he could not find any codes, resolutions or contracts, requiring the City to give a two-year notice to current garbage service providers the City was considering going with a mandatory trash service. Handley did suggest giving all current providers ample notice if the City implements mandatory trash service.

Council President Dean Bogle, filling in for Mayor Crystal Dunekacke who was absent, said the Council will discuss implementing mandatory trash service at the next Council meeting.
