• Sewickley officials approve new garbage contract, bills to increase next few years (triblive.com) — Sewickley Heights residents could see about a 40% reduction in trash service costs if council approves joining a new regional garbage contract administered through the Quaker Valley Council of Governments. The deal, already adopted by Sewickley, trades unlimited pickup for weekly bag limits but adds weekly recycling, bulk-item pickup, and hazardous waste options, aiming to control rate hikes across member communities.
