Private garbage collection under pressure in Franklin County
Tim Hobbs appeals to the Franklin County board of commissioners seeking support for his private garbage collection venture.

The commission, noting voters rejected a county wide plan, agrees to assist Hobbs while enforcing littering rules and charging scout trucks the standard 25 cents per yard.
