Borough still waits for a judge's decision on contracting a vendor for trash collection.
The borough has yet to hear receive a decision from the appellate division in the lawsuit over choosing a trash collection vendor, Mayor Nelson Vaughan said. The Borough Council released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for solid waste collection in the fall of 2010. While the RFP was out, the borough moved the due date for responses up by several days. Several bids still came in on the original due date. The council voted on Nov. 8 to take advantage of an option in the contract papers that allowed them to reject all bids and send the RFP out again.

Besides the waste I also find it inconvenient and irritating whenever you run out of the bags. Another mindless thing to remember to do in our busy lives. Stack it on the pile with all the username and passwords I have to remember. It reminds me of how the airlines now charge $25 to check each bag. You show up with your family at the airport and there goes another $100. I'd rather they just … more ›
