There was an error in a story that ran on February 9 and headlined, “County to bid garbage pickup.”

The current contract for household garbage pickup is with Waste Connections Inc., not Waste Management as reported.

The newspaper apologizes for the mistake and is glad to set the record straight.

Supervisors and the county administrator are satisfied with the service provided by Waste Connections Inc.

“They’ve done a wonderful job and everything is quiet,” said Larry Hall, county administrator, whose office deals with household garbage complaints. “That’s a wonderful thing.”
