Council ‘Talks Trash’

  The Terre Haute City Council discusses taking out the trash.At Tuesday nights “Sunshine Meeting”, councilman Todd Nation presented an ordinance to regulate the way you handle your garbage.The plan would require putting garbage in a can and fastening the lid.

It seems simple enough, but Nation says it could help the city’s trash problem and possibly cut down on crows and stray animals.

It seems logical that every household should have a trash can with a lid and put their garbage in it. We’re going to try and get that into the code, says Nation.

The council will vote on the trash ordinance at the next meeting, Thursday, April 12th.
