The Kirksville, Mo., City Council just approved a five-year waste and recycling contract with RTS Waste Services LLC.
The city received two bids for the service for the first time in at least two decades, according to a Kirksville Daily Express report. And longtime provider Advanced Disposal was challenged—and defeated—by RTS this time around.
RTS will charge a fee of $11.55 per month for residential trash and recycling service, while Advanced Disposal would have cost $12.27 per month, with a possible fuel surcharge if the price of fuel reached $4 per gallon.
