HATTIESBURG, Mississippi — Hattiesburg will continue its bi-weekly pickup of residents' garbage and yard debris and officials are looking to upgrade its trucks.
The city had flirted with bidding out its garbage service but officials didn't the price wasn't right. Mayor Johnny DuPree says only two companies expressed any interest in bidding for the service.
The Hattiesburg American reports (http://hatne.ws/1m14iVA) the five-year lease on the current trucks will expire this summer. The bids for the new, automated truck bodies are scheduled to be opened May 8.
DuPree says by keeping the service in-house, the city would be able to maintain control over operations.
