Council Approves Contract with CWD for Residential Trash and Recycling Services and Increases Rates by Five Cents per Month

In November of 2015, the Town began a five-year contract with Community Waste Disposal (CWD) to provide residential trash and recycling collection services. The current contract expires on October 31, 2020. 

 

At the August 11 work session, Public Works and Engineering Director Shannon Hicks shared the results of a recent Request for Proposal (RFP) for trash and recycling collection and that staff recommended awarding the bid to CWD. Additionally, the Town’s facilities refuse and recycling contract needed to be renewed and was included in the RFP.

 

At the September 22 meeting, the City Council awarded CWD a contract for residential trash and recycling collection in an amount not to exceed $301,440 and for Town facilities in an amount not to exceed $66,428. The new contract results in a monthly garbage and recycling rate increase from $12.51 to $12.56, per single-family residence in the first year of the contract. The increase will take effect October 1, 2020, and be reflected on the November 2020 utility bill.
