New Garbage Contractor Takes Over in Hamlet

The Town of Hamlet is ready for its new trash pickup provider. Local Affordable Disposal has completed the delivery of residents’ new garbage totes, and the company’s first garbage pickup day is Tuesday. “The transition has been very smooth,” Town Council President Dave Kesvormas reported Wednesday, “and we encourage any residents that have any issues to let us know immediately.” Town officials also reminded residents that large items will be collected the first Tuesday of each month.

The Hamlet Town Council approved the switch to Local Affordable Disposal last month, after the company offered a lower price than Republic Services. However, Clerk-Treasurer Kristina Pitts clarified Wednesday that the trailer park is not included in the change, since it has its own trash collection contract separate from the town’s.
