Aiken officials propose ending the city run commercial trash collection to curb losses estimated at 85 000 this year and to avoid higher fees. If dropped the city could save about 1 million and reallocate trucks and equipment funds. Public hearing dates planned for March 22 following a March 8 first reading.
