Title
Vote to approve a contract with MXI Environmental Services, LLC for the collection and disposal of household hazardous waste materials
Abstract
Introduction & Background: Solid Waste & Recycling offers nine household hazardous waste (HHW) events each year from March through November. Events are typically on the third Saturday of each month from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. The events are provided for residents to safely dispose of HHW materials. A contractor with specialized expertise collects the materials at the HHW events and disposes of them properly. A request for proposal process was completed to find a new contractor.
Discussion & Analysis: Through the request for proposal process, the proposals were evaluated and MXI Environmental Services, LLC was selected as the new contractor.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan:
