The city is exercising its first of three, one-year renewal options that was included in the initial three-year contract with Rumpke that was approved in 2014.

Franklin will have two more one-year options to renew the contract after this year, according to Public Works Director Steve Inman.

While the trash rate was increased, the price of toters, tire pick-up, and excess trash collection are not being increased this year, according to Inman.
