City resists fining residents for costly, sloppy trash handling
Rather than raise trash rates, Waste Management of New Mexico trash collection service has proposed fining customers who put trash in their recycling bins or overfill their trash cans, but most Rio Rancho Governing Body members said the rules were too vague and would cause too many complaints.
On a 5-1 vote during their meeting Thursday night, Rio Rancho Governing Body members opposed changes to the city’s contract with Waste Management. They directed the company and city staff to clarify language and bring back the amendments at their June 10 meeting.
