Title
Vote to approve a contract with Sanford GFL (Waste Industries) to accept solid waste from County Collection Centers
Abstract
Introduction & Background: Vote on a Request to approve the contract with (GFL) Waste Industries of Sanford transfer station.
Discussion & Analysis: The majority of the municipal solid waste (MSW) tonnage is taken to Great Oak Landfill in Randolph County. This transfer station in Sanford is used as an alternate disposal location because it is closer to some of the Collection Centers than the landfill, there is usually less wait time, and less wear and tear on the trucks. We sign agreements every fiscal year specifying the cost per ton at each disposal location.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: Become more resilient by mitigating, responding, and adapting to emerging threats.
Budgetary Impact: Cost per ton $59.44 included in the FY 25 budget.
Recommendation/Motion: Motion to approve a contract with GFL (Waste Industries) to accept solid waste from County Collection Centers at the Sanford transfer station.
