Battle Creek Prepares To Switch Waste Hauling Services The City of Battle Creek is beginning the job of preparing city residents for the upcoming change in waste hauling for the city. It’s been a challenging year for residents who must use the city designated single course provider. That is handled, like in many communities now, with contract-based service for all residential customers within the boundaries of the governmental unit. In turn, most communities are able to negotiate for lower rates than what individual residents would be able to get on their own. That also goes with the presumption that the services provided will be on time and properly handled.
