In a bid to improve waste management, the Town of Superior is rolling out a new three-cart program starting March 31, as a part of their contract with Republic Services, providing residents with individual carts for garbage, recycling, and compost. The people living under the Town's service umbrella which caters to areas like Original Town, Sagamore, and The Ridge, among others have until February 15 to select their preferred cart sizes, as detailed in a notice they would've found tucked amidst the stream of milquetoast and brightly colored correspondences that meet them at their mailboxes, as stated by the Town of Superior.
Residents stand before a mix-and-match scenario with three distinct cart sizes on the table: the 35 gallon, the 65 gallon, and the 95 gallon, but here's the ticker, though choices abound, the hesitation or delay in making your selection could strand you with standard issue sizes (65-gallon trash, 95-gallon recycling, and 35-gallon compost), and the gates for changes won't swing open again until May 1, this year. During an open house event, the Superior Community Center will play host to those who prefer the tangible over the digital, where the Sustainability Team alongside ACES members will field questions and demonstrate the size differences in these carts, as detailed by the Town of Superior.
Price tags for these bins, based on the chosen size of the garbage cart, range from a monthly $19.14 up to $42.02, and as luck would have it or as budgeting would dictate, size doesn't factor into the cost of recycling and compost carts. In those cases, the residents' decisions are not shackled to extra fees, they simply need to reach out to Nicole at Republic through email or over the phone to place their orders.
Republic will be dispatching the new carts in the week leading up to March 24, neatly dovetailing with Waste Connections' final round of pickups which will neatly round out their service stint, courtesy of a community notice that would've casually greeted residents, just another day, another piece of mail, yet this time holding the map to a cleaner, more categorized tomorrow.
