Franklin Township may sue Solid Waste for breaking their recycling contract, trustees say

- Wendy DiAlesandro

Franklin Township, the only one of 10 communities to miss a Dec. 1 deadline to continue curbside recycling service, is considering legal action against the Portage County Solid Waste Management District.

They say Solid Waste breached an existing recycling contract, which was not only cheaper than the replacement contract on offer but facilitated payments for the township’s leaf pickup service.
