The City of Quincy is considering privatizing the collection of garbage and recycling instead of using the sticker program it has used for years. With that in mind, the City is going to hold two public hearings on the issue.  The first hearing will be tonight from 6:30 to 7:30 at St. Peter's Church basement at 2600 Maine Street in Quincy.

Quincy Mayor Kyle Moore is proposing that the City of Quincy should drop the garbage sticker option it has been using, in favor of one of two options which would see a flat fee for all users. The change would allow the City of Quincy to spend the increased monies on needed infrastructure improvements.

Director of Administrative Services, Glenda Hackemack and the West Central Area Agency on Aging want to remind everyone to check on their neighbors and especially the elderly during this period of extreme heat.

Sometimes it can be difficult for film fanatics - especially those that don't live in a giant city - to find much more than Hollywood blockbusters from local theaters. Sure there's Netflix, video stores, and some nice online options for home viewing, but what about the experience of seeing a great film with an audience? The Quincy Public Library has an answer to this dilemma.

The 7th annual Big Dam Film Festival will be held this Friday and Saturday, June 28 and 29 in Quincy. The event is held in conjunction with the Midsummer Arts Faire.
