Westfield to votes to seek city wide trash service

Westfield City Council voted Monday night to seek bids for citywide trash and recycling services.

The council voted unanimously to seek the bids. A separate ordinance would be considered by the council before a citywide service is approved or rates are set. In addition to seeking bids, the ordinance gives the council oversight authority. It also would charge residents a $17 fee to make changes to their account, in addition to an administrative fee that cannot exceed $1.
