Hearing Wednesday For Residents To Talk Trash With City Officials
Creve Coeur is in the process of evaluating options ahead of the expiration of the existing contract for trash services.

The public is invited to the last scheduled meeting where Creve Coeur officials hope to hear what residents want in the city's next contract for trash collection. The current deal expires next summer.
An earlier forum on the subject attracted approximately 20 residents, primarily city elected leaders and committee members. One of the city's big issues with trash collection now is that Creve Coeur's current contract covers the collection of rear-yard trash, which is more expensive, but is not utilized by a majority of city residents.
Some at the previous forum contend that their tax dollars shouldn't subsidize someone else's more expensive service, which is currently available at no extra cost to residents.
