Let's cut to the chase: The City is considering whether or not they're going to tell you who you can hire to pick up your trash. In the meantime, they would likely be putting local family-owned companies out of business.
Why? It's ostensibly so that they can reduce the number of trucks that use city streets. But that's a false argument on its face: state law prohibits districting of commercial trash hauling. There will always be multiple carriers using the streets of Fort Collins.
So what's the real reason? We should ask ourselves why the City Council would want to have so much control over what we throw away...
