"Mayor Brandy Hawkins Boies stated that the delays are due to Waste Management’s staffing issues. She later shared that town officials are working diligently to ensure the situation is resolved promptly.
“We’re looking into all of our options right now. We’re taking a close look at the agreement that we have with them, and our staff has been working around the clock in constant communication with Waste Management, trying to go up the chain to find leadership to help us resolve this,” Boies said.
Staffing shortages being an issue and the business struggling to keep up begs the question: what if this were to happen again? Boies said the town is two steps ahead and already looking into possible alternatives for the future."
“Our contract with Waste Management is through next year, 2026, but we are having our lawyers take a look at our agreement right now to see if they are in violation and what we can do about it,” she said.
Some of those alternatives are the town taking things into their own hands.
“We are also researching our option of running our [own] trash service, so our staff is pulling all of the costs associated with that to see if that is a possibility in the future,” the mayor said. “We are also reaching out to additional companies to see if there’s anything else that we could partner with.”
