Liberty would streamline its trash pickup

LIBERTY — Trustees are contemplating changing the way residents unload their trash.

Trustees will likely vote on a contract with Allied Waste Management for the company to serve as the exclusive trash hauler in the township. There are now three trash haulers operating in the township: Allied Waste, City Disposal and Waste Management.

Trustee Jodi Stoyak said officials are looking to use a part of Ohio Revised Code that allows townships to create a trash district and designate an exclusive trash hauler for that district. Trustees will meet at 4:30 p.m. today.

Stoyak said going to one trash collection company instead of the three will mean less noise from trucks collecting trash at different times and different days, less pollution and less damage to township roads.
