N.J. trash hauler threatens to sue over garbage collection contract - nj.com

A Warren County trash hauler has threatened to sue Frenchtown over its garbage collection contract.

LMR Disposal of Harmony Township says its five-year deal is a better value than the one-year deal awarded to Republic Services. LMR attorney Katharine Fina claims Frenchtown’s contract award flouts state bidding laws.

Republic was awarded a one-year contract at $151,000, according to documents provided by the borough. LMR’s bid of $787,000 for five years averages out to $157,000 each year. But Fina believes inflation will drive the cost of collections way beyond the $157,000-a-year rate LMR has locked in for five years. She claims Republic is getting preferential treatment.
