Title
Vote to approve the contract amendment with Key Energy for the collection and recycling of used cooking oil.
Abstract
Introduction & Background: Solid Waste & Recycling has a contract with Key Energy to collect and recycling used cooking oil from the 12 Collection Centers and Main Facility. The contract is renewed annually because Key Energy is the only company in the area providing this service.
Discussion & Analysis: Due to the nature of the material, it must be picked up quarterly to ensure it is a viable product. Many of the Collection Centers receive very little or no cooking oil. The amendment reduces the number of locations cooking oil is accepted from 13 to 5- four Collection Centers and the Main Facility. Chatham County residents will still be able to access it since these locations are centrally located.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: Recycling used cooking oil helps to conserve natural resources as it is mostly recycled into a fuel source.
Budgetary Impact: None.
Recommendation/Motion: Vote to approve the contract amendment with Key Energy for the collection and recycling of used cooking oil.
