Title
Vote to approve the contract with Waste Management
Abstract
Introduction & Background: Compactor and bulky containers are taken from some of the Collection Centers and hauled to Waste Management transfer station in Sanford and Great Oak Landfill in Randolph County.
Discussion & Analysis: The majority of the municipal solid waste (MSW) tonnage is taken to Great Oak Landfill in Randolph County. The transfer station of Sanford and Durham are used as alternate disposal locations because they are closer to some of the Collection Centers from the landfill, there is usually less wait times 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 $60.70 Sanford Transfer Station and $45.07 Great Oak Landfill is included in the operating budget.
Recommendation/Motion: Motion to approve the contract with Waste Management
