The Brunswick Town Council voted 6-1 against terminating its Casella curbside collection contract, after first adding the late item to the June 15 agenda. The 10-year agreement runs through 2032, and staff warned that exiting now could disrupt service continuity. No opt-out notice was filed by the June 30 deadline.
Councilors also unanimously approved a mobile home park rent stabilization ordinance that creates a review board and ties future lot rent increases to the CPI. The measure responds to recent sharp hikes reported by residents at parks such as Bay Bridge.
Residents should watch whether the council revisits waste-hauling options before the contract ends and how the new rent review board handles its first cases.
