6 hrs ago The city of Mineral Wells is exploring options in the conversion from bag service to poly carts in its solid waste collection contract with Waste Connections. âWhen I moved here in 2007, I found it very strange that we didnât have trash carts,â Mineral Wells Mayor Regan Johnson said. âTo me, this is something very basic and a very long time coming.â The city is also looking into including the Convenience Center cost into the monthly rate instead of imposing a gate charge for residents. Two options were presented to the city council Tuesday night, however, no action was taken.
