The Houston City Council has approved two measures to supplement its waste collection fleet and services.
The City of Houston’s severely aged refuse collection fleet has led to overflowing trash bins and significant technician overtime cost. The city is considering options to supplement its services.
Baltimore did not purchase fire trucks between 2009 and 2011, leading to an aging fleet.
Officials at the City of Lake Station, Ind., recently voted to keep refuse collection in house rather than outsource it. The aging fleet needs to be replaced, which may require a rate increase.
The City of Lawrence (Kan.) has purchased $1.75 million worth of vehicles this month to replace its aging fleet out of a reserve replacement fund so the monies wouldn't be lost in the 2016 budget.
