City Receives Refuse Loader For Decatur Sanitation
A $23 000 commercial refuse loader truck was delivered for the Decatur Sanitation Department. Councilman Charles Martin says the third city purchase is needed due to a 51 percent rise in commercial refuse since the start of commercial collections 30 months ago. The truck holds 25 cubic yards of compressed refuse and will restore a 40 hour work week for sanitation workers with extra pickups as needed. It was bought on a rent purchase plan with $500 monthly payments for one year and remaining balance due after 12 months.
