Under the new proposal, waste will be collected once per week, while customers will now be asked to transport recycling bins to the city’s convenience station.

The Graham city manager tells the Graham Leader that a significant number of customers were using the recycling container as a second garbage bin.

The collection contract will include an initial term of five years with renewal provisions. The city’s current contract was set to expire Aug. 31, 2025.
