COLUMBUS, Ind. – The Bartholomew County Solid Waste Management District board met Thursday morning and approved the extension of its contract with Rumpke for trash handling. The terms of the extension are for a maximum of five years, and stipulate that any Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments would be one-half of what the federal government declares as a CPI increase.
In other business, the board granted the town of Hartsville a landfill gate fee waiver for June 8, when the town conducts its annual cleanup. Also approved were new guidelines, recently drafted by district staff, for volunteer participation on the Citizens Advisory Committee.
