Solid Waste and Recycling Forum on February 8

The Town of South Hadley will hold a forum at 10:00am on Saturday, February 8, 2020 at Town Hall Auditorium to provide information to help inform citizen understanding of issues and challenges. South Hadley, along with other communities, is facing significant changes in the recycling market which may result in increases of as much as 60% in communities across the Commonwealth. At the same time the Town’s municipal trash hauler contract with Republic ends on June 30, 2020. As the present rate schedule and Green bag program will likely need adjustment, all residents are invited to attend the program to learn more about the concerns and provide input on how best to structure the system to create a fair, cost-effective, and multi-year strategy for meeting these challenges.
