Transfer $303,275 from economic development budget to buy new trash compactor stations
$303,275
In Plain English
The city planned to spend this money on waste prevention programs through the City Manager's office. Instead, the funds now go toward purchasing Waxie Bigbelly stations, which are solar-powered trash compactors that hold more garbage than regular bins. These stations reduce how often crews need to empty trash containers in public areas.
