MANAGER’S MESSAGE

The Town of Matthews solid waste services will be provided by Waste Pro effective July 1. The move to a new solid waste provider was made with careful consideration by the Board of Commissioners. The Town's contract with Republic Services was coming to an end and was re-bid in an effort to find the most cost-effective provider who can continue providing excellent solid waste services for the residents of Matthews. We look forward to a great partnership with Waste Pro.

There are several important things residents need to know regarding this transition. For that information, including new cart delivery details, please read the article on page 4.

We are celebrating Independence Day on Friday, June 30 with a Beats 'n Bites concert followed by a spectacular fireworks show. See page 5 for more details.

We are also celebrating Juneteenth on Monday, June 19 beginning at 4:30 pm in Stumptown Park. Read more about the event on page 3.

This will be the last issue of The Matthews Messenger in this format. Beginning next month, the Messenger will transition to a weekly newsletter. The new format will be more concise and provide residents with the latest news, information, and upcoming meetings and events.

Check out the calendar on page 6 for Matthews events and Board of Commissioners meetings so you can stay involved and engaged in all that Matthews has to offer.
