Jackson City Ccouncil finally voted in favor of a six-year contract with Richard's Disposal to collect the city's garbage.
After years-long internal feud, Jackson picks a long-term garbage vendor by Alex Rozier, Mississippi Today March 19, 2024 Since the fall of 2021, the city of Jackson's garbage pickup has gotten by with piecemeal measures due to a lack of consensus among City Council members in selecting a vendor. The chaos peaked last spring, when resident's garbage went uncollected for two weeks as city officials continued to quibble over picking a contractor.
Throughout the process, the opposing council members argued that Lumumba was steering the council towards voting for his favored vendor, Richard's. Lumumba and his office repeatedly argued that Richard's, a Black-owned business that employs mostly local residents for its Jackson operation, provided the best bid to the city in the previous RFP — request for proposals — process. Moreover, the mayor argued, it's his role to pick the contract to present to the council.
