CANTON — St. Lawrence County legislators agreed Monday to extend a recycling contract with Casella Waste Services until the end of the year while it considers long-term options.

The county is considering whether to sign a new contract with Casella for recycling services at an increased cost or go with Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority. Initial estimates were that costs appeared to be close even if the county had to purchase a truck and have a driver take the material to Utica, but a number of questions have since come up.

“I believe we need to do our true due diligence,” Finance Committee Chairman Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction, said. “There’s an awful lot of information we do not have.”
