CHRISTIAN COUNTY, KY (CHRISTIAN COUNTY NOW) – Christian County residents must sign up for a newly established trash service now that the fiscal court has approved a different franchise bid agreement with Impact Waste Service. This officially changes the residential and commercial trash service for the county.
The Christian County Fiscal Court approved the agreement during the May 26 meeting after a committee evaluated incoming bids for service and provided a recommendation. Judge Executive Jerry Gilliam compared the residential monthly price between the current service with GFL and Impact Waste.
- GFL residential cost per month: $16.33, rising to $19.10 by 2031
- Additional bin cost: $6.80
- Impact Waste residential cost per month: $12.41, rising to $13.97 by 2031
- Additional bin cost: $4
The City of Oak Grove also separately entered into a new franchise agreement with the same service, with representatives telling officials at the time that they offer local customer service that will respond within 24 hours, and they are willing to be flexible with customers while remaining efficient.
This change for Christian County will take effect July 1 and does not include residents in the city limits of Crofton, Hopkinsville and Pembroke. Current GFL customers must sign up on the Impact Waste website by June 12 to allow new containers to be delivered before July 1…
