Streetsboro will expand Kimble contract to include recycling services

- Owen MacMillan

Streetsboro City Council approved a contract with Kimble Companies for both trash and recycling pickup services in a pair of votes on Monday night.

The five-year contract awards Kimble the role of exclusive waste pickup provider for Streetsboro, starting in October. The city had previously used the Portage County Waste Management District for recycling pickup, but officials recently sought bids from private companies after the county announced plans to raise the price of recycling to $5.50 per household per month.
