County Approves Trash Contracts

The St. Louis County Council authorized contracts with haulers to collect trash and recyclables in three trash collection districts in the unincorporated area.

The contracts will go to:

— IESI, to become the hauler in District 1, which covers an area north of Interstate 270 between Florissant and Highway 367. Households will pay a monthly charge of $12.09 in the first year, which will rise to $13.14 in the third. The hauler will collect trash and recyclables once a week and bulky items twice a year.

— Allied Waste LLC, to become the hauler in District 5, which generally covers the Affton area. Allied's monthly charge for the same service would go from $12.29 in the first year to $13.29 in the third.

— Veolia Environmental Services, to become the hauler in District 7 which is generally south of Sunset Hills. Veolia's monthly charge would range from $12.40 in the first year to $13.28 in the third.

The county plans to have the haulers begin work on Oct. 1.

Councilmen John Campisi, R-south St. Louis County, and Greg Quinn, R-Ballwin, voted against awarding all three contracts. Councilwoman Barbara Fraser, D-University City, voted against the one for District 7.
