Waxahachie Daily Light
Changes in the garbage and trash ordinance drew discussion before being approved during Monday night’s meeting of the Waxahachie City Council.
The council OK’d a number of changes to Chapter 14 of the city’s code of ordinances. Assistant city manager Tommy Ludwig said the changes include weekly polycart trash collection, every other week polycart recycling collection, weekly hazardous waste collection and weekly brush and bulk collection.
Ludwig also mentioned “pink tags,” which will be for bagged items that are classified as general trash, cannot be placed in a polycart, and do not qualify as brush and bulk. Pink tags will be available through the service provider, Waste Connections, for a nominal fee, Ludwig said.
