Media Advisory

The City of Springfield will host a news conference at 9:30 a.m., Tuesday, Feb. 24,at the Household Chemical Collection Center, 1226 W. Nichols St.

The news conference will outline the outcome of negotiations with Springfield's two largest solid-waste companies on "put-or-pay" agreements for the Springfield Municipal Landfill.

The Citizen's Solid Waste Committee recommended that the City and the solid-waste companies attempt to negotiate an alternative to implementing "flow control" in Springfield. Under a "flow control" system, the City could require solid-waste companies operating in Springfield to use the Springfield Municipal Landfill.
