Waco easing some proposed garbage rule changes

Duane A. Laverty/Waco Tribune-Herald

A Waco garbage truck prepares to pick up containers along Wood Street on Tuesday. Proposed new rules would require residents to bring their carts back from the curb the day after pick-up.

The Waco City Council held off Tuesday on a proposal to tighten regulations on when and where residents can dispose of their garbage. The city staff asked for more time to tweak proposed amendments to Waco's solid waste ordinance, after staff and council heard concerns from the public that the rules would be too strict.
