GFL Environmental Inc., DeWitt County's garbage collection service, admits it has dropped the ball when it comes to making its rounds in Farmer City. 

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Farmer City City Manager Taylor Baxter told Regional Radio that representatives from GFL appeared at the City Council meeting to issue an apology for their lack of service in the DeWitt County community. 

Baxter indicates the community has been experiencing this lapse in garbage pickups for the last month, which may not seem like a long time, but the consistency of the issue has made a noticeable impact on residents of Farmer City. 

Like Clinton, Farmer City has been pushing for better compliance when it comes to cleaning up the community. Baxter says the City is also frustrated because the mistakes made by GFL do not help in that effort. 

Farmer City is working with residents and local officials to clean up the community, and Baxter reiterates that making money off of citations is not the goal behind this effort.
