During the November 7^th Delta Village Council meeting, Administrator Brad Peebles recommended to Council members to put out for bid refuse collection for the next contract which will cover years 2023 and 2024.  Mr. Peebles explained that Archbold Refuse Service (ARS) charges the Village $2.25 per garbage tag against the $2.50 per tag the Village charges residents, leaving $0.25 per tag for administrative costs under the 2021-2022 contract.  He also said that the 2019-2020 contract paid ARS $2.50 per tag, a break-even price for Delta.

“I do anticipate, with the cost of fuel and everything else, that we’re going to see an escalation in the per tag price for the next two years,” said Mr. Peebles.  “So, we may have to address that rates once we see those prices.  I would like to have a motion to authorizing for the advertising and solicitation of bids for refuse service.” Council approved the motion 6-0.
