Does Hilsborough County Need New Garbage Collection?

Is it time for new garbage service?

The Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners will review a bid for a new residential trash collection company on Thursday, Sept. 13.

The county's current contract with private companies expires on Sept. 30, 2013.

The workshop is scheduled at 1:30 p.m. in the County Commission boardroom, 2nd floor of County Center, 601 E. Kennedy Blvd. in downtown Tampa.

The public comment is not scheduled to be taken because the meeting is in a workshop format and is not a public hearing. Public input will be sought on various service options and pricing after the bids are opened and before new contracts are awarded.

So Westchase, what do you think? Do we need a new garbage collection company in our neighborhood?
