City eyes new rubbish plan for Lompoc
Assistant city administrator Bob Livingston says a mechanized rubbish collection plan may go to the Lompoc City Council in late September or October. A 300 gallon container would replace individual bins and each container would serve four homes, enabling mechanized dumping and reduced crew needs. Costs of containers and truck modifications are under study with possible council action after evaluating proposals.
