Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said he was hoping for 3-4 bids when the request for proposals (RFP) was issued for a city-wide trash collection contract.  Fishers Deputy Mayor Elliott Hultgren tells LarryInFishers the city has received 3 bids.

Hultgren says the 3 bidders include Republic, WM (formerly known as Waste Management) and Priority Waste.  Republic and WM currently have most of the Homeowners Association (HOA) contracts for trash collection in Fishers.  Priority has some contracts in Fishers.

It will take time for the city staff to sort through the RFP responses, which are quite detailed.  It is possible the trash contract will be on the Fishers Board of Works and Public Safety agenda at the Tuesday, June 25th meeting.  The city has also indicated a public hearing would be held in July.
