Recycling ends in Weatherly
Weatherly Borough will end its recycling program because officials can’t find a contractor to run it.
The borough’s contract with Solomon Container Services runs out on April 1. Mayor/council president Tom Connors said Solomon has informed the borough that it won’t continue after that date.
Manager Harold Pudliner said in a recent report to borough council that the search for a replacement has been unsuccessful.
“We are searching for a new provider, but with market conditions at an all-time low, it is doubtful we will be able to secure another contractor,” he said.
At one time, Weatherly had curbside recycling. Then Carbon County offered a recycling drop-off area. When the county ended its program in 2013 due to budget cuts, the borough hired Solomon.
The borough had been paying $300 per month for Solomon to empty the recycling bins at the park.
Councilman Jeffrey Miller said he recently read that Solomon was increasing its pickups in nearby Banks Township. He couldn’t understand that, noting that the company’s pickups were inconsistent.
Connors said they reached out to the borough’s contracted trash hauler, County Waste (which is not affiliated with Carbon County). It didn’t respond.
“We do have feelers out at different places, but a lot of people won’t return your call when you mention recycling,” Connors said.

He uses non sense phrases like "wrong side of history" and "full display". Even more disturbing. rambo will use homosexual innuendo like, "on you like a wet blanket"? What a creepy, sick mind. Its all there in black and white.
He is the self proclaimed minister of the Republican Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda.
Just like loser ⊥rump, all he has is rightwing verbal diarrhea, and veiled threats of violence. Nothing but the rants of a diseased brain, & the manifestation of guilt for handing America over to a psychotic dick-tator.
