Mandatory Trash Program Closer

Rushville, IL – Rushville aldermen have approved the second reading of a mandatory trash collection ordinance. Mayor Ron Shepherd says the individual house rate will be about $12 ... which is about $2 less than the current fee. He says exemptions will be available for senior citizens who generate little trash and who are living on a fixed income. He says one of the goals of the program is to eliminate the burning of trash in barrels throughout the town. The council must approve it one more time for the ordinance to take effect.
