The PMUA handles most of Plainfield's solid waste services. (Photo captured from a PMUA video.) |
Heard some interesting scuttlebutt.
The story making the rounds is that the Plainfield Public Schools are looking at dropping the PMUA as the contractor for its solid waste and recycles.
With 13 schools and several other buildings in the District, this makes the Plainfield Public Schools probably the PMUA's largest single customer.
Why would the District drop the PMUA? Same reason as individual homeowners: it makes economic sense, especially if the District can find a vendor that can charge less than the municipal utilities authority.
Would there be a ripple effect?
Chances are the PMUA would find itself with more workers than needed and that would mean possible layoffs.
Word in the street is that the new Superintendent is looking to save money where possible -- evidently without deference to the local "sacred cows".
Does this mean other cost-saving actions are coming?
Stay tuned.
