The city may have learned a few lessons from last year when it comes to the balancing act of keeping trash collection routine for its nearly 100,000 residents, and keeping waste hauling companies hitched.

Fall River is ready to act on a two-year contract plus a one-year built-in extension option, with Capitol Waste Services, Inc. The East Boston-based waste hauler would be responsible for collecting the city’s solid waste and disposing of it, in addition to handling curbside collection of single-stream recycling.

The cost of the contract is not included in materials provided to City Council members as of the April 28 meeting, where the Council voted to refer the contract proposal to the City Council Committee on Finance. According to earlier reports, the trash collection makes up 2.9% of the city’s Fiscal 2027 budget of $479 million.
