Lower garbage fees for Kimberly residents. The Kimberly City Council will consider awarding the contract for garbage pickup services to WastePro, which submitted the low bid last week in the council’s regular session. The council had put the contract up for bids again after the current provider requested a rate increase that was higher than surrounding communities. A committee will check the bid to see if it meets the proper specs.
Mobile meth lab busted. Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputies arrested four people Monday when, while investigating a call about trespassers, they found a working methamphetamine lab in a car near a house in Minor. The deputies found more drug-making equipment inside the house.
