The next monthly meeting of Dupont Borough Council is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 14.
Up for discussion on the agenda is the 2027 refuse collection.
At the June meeting, council discussed going back to Dupont Borough printed refuse bags vs. stickers. This is due to a number of residents using contractor bags and overweight bags. The cost for printed bags is much higher than the stickers, therefore it can raise the yearly fee for residents.
This motion was put on hold after council agreed to look into having a private hauler collect the trash and recycling. Again, this is up for discussion and will lead to a significant increase in the yearly fee.
Reminders
Residents are reminded again of the weight limit and size of the bags to be used. No more than 30 pounds, no contractor bags, recycling and yard waste is collected separately and should not be put in refuse bags.
