Florissant City Council Mulls Trash Service Contract Extension
The council will look at giving Meridian Waste a five-year contract.
Florissant City Council will decide whether to extend its trash service contract Meridian Waste during Monday night’s meeting.
Meridian Waste has provided service to the City of Florissant for the past five years and has proposed a five-year contract extension that would increase customers’ bill in 2017.
Many Patch readers seem to support the contract extension, while others don’t share the same sentiment.

“I am also very happy with Meridian Waste,” Gene Thoebes wrote. “The multiple companies we had before was terrible. Every waste company had a different pickup day and adding yard waste resulted in more trucks up and down the street. If you have an issue with Meridian I found it was solved faster by email than trying to use the phone.”
Resident Elizabeth O’Fallon disagreed by saying, “NOOOOOO! The citizens of Florissant are NOT happy with their service with Meridian Waste. Please do NOT extend the contract.”
