By bringing this program in-house, the current <br /> program can be enhanced and reduce costs at the same time, which will free up <br /> resources to further the 61 percent reduction goal. <br /> On a related matter, the Town of Hillsborough had previously announced its <br /> intention to discontinue town collection of commercial solid waste. As previously <br /> reported to the Board, the Solid Waste Department will be preparing a proposal, <br /> along with other private haulers, to provide this service on behalf of the Town. If <br /> the Solid Waste Department is successful in their proposal, then there will be a <br /> need for one (1) Solid Waste Collector and associated equipment and vehicle. As <br /> additional information becomes available, staff will update the Board. <br /> 17 <br />
