On October 16, 2019, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2019-31056, extending a renewal of the City’s Non-Exclusive Franchise Waste Contractor Agreements and new Service Agreement for a period of three (3) years, commencing October 1, 2019 and expiring on September 30, 2022.

The Sanitation Division of the Public Works Department engaged Midatlantic Solid Waste Consultants (MSW) to assist staff with evaluating the current agreement structure and to provide recommendations for an open versus closed, exclusive versus non-exclusive, Franchise Waste Contractor Agreement.

The Public Works Department and its consultant recently presented its assessment at the April 29, 2022 Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee.  A motion was made by the Committee to come back at their next meeting to provide additional information and to invite the City's waste haulers for further discussion.
