Mayor Margolis is talkin’ trash. Rowlett's current solid waste contract expires in September 2024 and the City is beginning the process to contract our next provider.View the Mayor's Spotlight Newsletter: www.rowlett.com/mayorsspotlightLike so many others in the service provider industry, solid waste companies have been severely impacted by the economic conditions resulting from the pandemic. From labor shortages to fuel costs, to equipment and vehicle replacement issues – the impacts have resulted in a shift and providers are no longer offering the high level of services, such as unlimited bulk pick up, we currently enjoy at a price point equitable to our current rates.The City of Rowlett is interested in hearing about what YOU consider important as we proactively begin the process to contract our next solid waste service provider. Services and pricing will change so we want your opinion on the services that matter most to you.We’ll have several opportunities for in-person input and a bit later this month an online survey will go live.Three sessions will be held at the Rowlett Community Centre:Tuesday, October 18 Wednesday, October 19 Thursday, October 20 Share your thoughts with us - your input will help inform the services our community receives with our next vendor!
