The trash referendum went to the opponents of the switch to automated collection. The final vote was 1964 “yes” votes to 1716 “no” votes.
The “yes” contingent was voting to keep the trash collection as it is now. There needed to be a majority plus 10 percent of the registered voters (1,316) in order for the ordinance to pass.
Paul Argazzi who led the opposition to the switch said “I’m very happy….it was a fair vote.”
Mayor Adam Salina said there are still legal questions to be answered as to what happens next.
