City expands bulk trash services to underserved neighborhoods
In a recent government meeting, the commissioners approved a significant increase to a purchase order with Tiger Sanitation, raising the total from $49,500 to $89,500. This funding is designated for roll-off services aimed at assisting neighborhoods lacking bulk refuse pickup, specifically in precincts 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Commissioner Moody expressed a desire for more information regarding the program, noting that his team was previously unaware of its existence and potential benefits for precinct 3. The bulk pickup initiative is designed to help residents dispose of large items and reduce illegal dumping in areas without regular trash collection services.

The Environmental Services Department has been coordinating these bulk events primarily with homeowners' associations (HOAs) in precincts 1 and 4. However, there is an intention to expand these services to precinct 3, where the need for such assistance is recognized. The department plans to engage with local neighborhood groups to assess demand and schedule future pickups.

The motion to approve the increased funding was passed unanimously, indicating strong support for enhancing waste management services in underserved areas. The meeting also included the approval of various legal administrative documents and minutes from previous sessions, concluding with an invitation for citizens to voice their concerns.
