District Demands Immediate Improvement of Garbage Service
The Washington Fertilizer Company must upgrade garbage removal to meet contract terms or face supplementary service at its expense. District Stidham and Commissioner West voiced strong action after widespread complaints of neglect, including in Mount Pleasant and Washington Heights. Fines have risen this year as service remains inconsistent, with bids for new contracts expected higher due to expanded service area.
