Bourbon Residents to Receive New Trash Toters This Week

Residents of the Town of Bourbon will be getting new trash toters this week in preparation of the new trash service beginning January 1, 2023.

In October, the Bremen Town Council awarded a new trash contract to Borden Waste Away out of Elkhart. The company presented the lowest proposal with $15.83 for the first year of the contract, $16.61 for the second year, and $17.45 for the third year. Bourbon residents will see a $.56 increase per month in trash collection in the first year.

Bourbon officials announced on Facebook Monday that new trash toters will be arriving Saturday, December 10 with recycling totes delivered December 17. 

Residents are asked to continue to use Republic Services totes until the end of the year.

Calendars of trash and recycling pick-up days will be distributed when the toters are delivered. Information will also be sent through the mail.
