Trash containers coming to Chouteau

Chouteau Public Works Authority Board of Trustees received an update on the delivery of trash receptacles at their meeting Monday night.

On the agenda was the discussion of Green Country Refuse (GCR) and their “failure to provide Chouteau PWA customers with trash receptacles.”

The trash containers were agreed upon in the contract between the town and GCR in June 2009.

Mayor Jerry Floyd addressed the GCR representative who was in attendance.

“We’ve been getting calls, calls and more calls,” he said. “You’ve had plenty of time.”

It was explained that it takes time for the more than 900 containers to arrive. Delivery was supposed to have begun Monday, but the rain delayed it another day.

Delivery began Tuesday.

“We expect to get them out there,” Floyd said. “People are ready for them.”

In other business, the previously approved utility rate hike will go into effect on April 1, according to trustees.
