Why can't I choose/hire my own waste hauler?

The main reason for the city contracting with one hauler is to limit the wear and tear on our streets, and limit the large truck traffic in the neighborhoods. There are more than 16,000 households receiving service, so it requires many fewer trucks when we stick with one hauler.
