A proposal to modify trash collection would spare buying a new garbage truck and cut staff by up to 10. It offers four options including curbside cans with weekly dumping and recycling, residents rolling cans to the curb, and self-return of cans with varying monthly fees from 5.35 to 6.35 dollars. One plan would keep current pickup but raise annual costs by about nine dollars if unchanged. The study will lead to a separate voter on garbage rates after council review.
