Bulls Gap's truck, mower shopping each hit snag
BULLS GAP — The town of Bulls Gap’s ongoing garbage truck problem ran into a snag this month when public works official Daniel Jackson went looking for possible solutions. Jackson reported to the BMA at its Monday, Oct. 19 meeting that an attempt to secure a grant to replace the truck failed to get off the ground. “We didn’t even make it into the running for it before they kind of shut us down,” Jackson told the board. “It’s primarily a recycling grant, (and) because we don’t have a recycling program for the town, they’re not looking to give us any kind of money.” The truck is a pressing issue for the town due to the poor condition of its back end, where picked-up trash is hauled. The bed has seriously deteriorated over the 20-year age of the truck, and while it is otherwise mechanically sound, one repair shop called the bed a “ticking time bomb.” Re-lining the bed on the existing truck would cost about $140,733, while getting a new truck would run about $204,000. Jackson did have some possible good news, however. Morristown is retiring some of its older garbage trucks, and Jackson said it may be possible
