CCIRF workshop to discuss waste haulers

A representative from Resource Recycling Systems will discuss results of a study on waste hauling and recycling during a work session with Brandon Township boardmembers is planned for 6:30 p.m., Aug. 3, at the township offices, 395 Mill St. The session is open to the public.
RRS of Ann Arbor has been conducting a months-long study of waste hauling services in Brandon and Groveland, as well as Springfield Township, Independence Township, Waterford, White Lake and West Bloomfield. The study is paid for through a Capital and Cooperative Initiative Revolving Fund Grant (CCIRF).
The study ultimately recommended that the communities would benefit from a community-wide waste hauling contract and began work to finalize the details of a solid waste authority, which would be able to seek services on behalf of the communities and allow them to request and receive legitimate pricing in any procurement process.
Brandon Township Supervisor Kathy Thurman said no decisions will be made at the workshops.
