Solid Waste Services Procurement Process

Currently, Republic Services, Inc. processes and disposes of over 130,000 tons of material for Richmond, four other West County cities, and the County. The agreements with Republic Services for these services expire in 2014.

On April 2, Richmond City Council will consider the proposed Term Sheet for post-collection and additional collection services:
K-1(1) REVIEW the proposed Term Sheet for post-collection services as negotiated between RecycleMore and Republic Services and authorize an agreement based on this Term Sheet; and (2) REVIEW the proposed solid waste collection services based on the Term Sheet, and other possible modifications to collection services, and authorize staff to develop a proposed agreement with Republic Services regarding these service modifications for subsequent Council approval – City Manager's Office (Bill Lindsay 620-6502).
