Public Comment:
Johnny Gates mentioned “food for thought on the trash debacle in Elk
Township” and suggested options to discuss at the May meeting: the new
Independent Rural Waste Company is more receptive to picking up trash, but it
would be easier to keep two trash collection sites (K&K and Luke’s Corners)
to be labeled for Elk Township Weekenders Only, and encourage other residents
to put their bags at their own residence and contact Independent for trash
pick-up
