They included renewal clauses in their bid which ended up being exercised in 2022. - Originally included weekly trash, recycling, & bulk. This changed in 2022. - “Blended value recycling” in the contract meant the town was recouping some recycling costs through 2021-2022. However late 2022 into 2023, the Town started seeing costs double or triple what they were through the early years of the contract. 2024 came down some in the first half before ticking back up at the end.
