Finance committee recommends JNS for village garbage services, approves $221-per-parcel special charge

The Village of Suring Finance Committee on Sept. 29, 2026, voted to recommend JNS as the village garbage hauler for the 2027–2029 contract period. Trustee Kohlwey moved the recommendation, Trustee Nieling seconded, and the committee recorded "all ayes." The motion specified that the vendor will pay disposal fees and that the village will place a special charge of $221 per parcel on the tax roll to cover costs.

Committee members reviewed proposals from Harter's, GFL, and JNS and concluded JNS "remains the most cost-effective option with bag and sticker option," while noting that Harter's and GFL proposed cart-only service. The committee required that JNS provide a pickup date and an estimated pickup window before the start of service and that the vendor notify the Clerk's office in advance if a scheduled pickup will be missed or delayed.
