An inquiry was recently made as to why the City of Gallatin has canceled bulk trash services this fall.
According to City Administrator Lance Rains, the City of Gallatin was informed two weeks ago by Rapid Removal that the bulk trash pickup would be postponed again due to COVID-19.
However, individuals can contact the trash hauler if they have a larger amount of trash than normal, for instance a mattress or something of that sort.
“We don’t run the trash company,” says Rains. “The city has a contract that we renew every three years. We renewed that contract in July. The contract does include two bulk trash pickups — one in the spring and one in the fall. However, COVID has really disrupted all of that. COVID has disrupted many things this year.”
The number for Rapid Removal, which is located in Trenton, is 660-654-4287.
The following is the notice published on the Rapid Removal website.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic virus:
• All trash must be bagged or placed in the cart, if your community is carted.
• 14 white bags (13-gallon) maximum.
• Suspension of all bulky items until further notice.
• Suspension of spring cleanouts, garage, basements, cleanouts of any kind.
• Cardboard, plastic, construction debris will not be picked up.
