Title
Discussion of issues relating to an amendment to the City’s commercial solid waste agreement with Waste Management of Texas, Inc.
Body
Summary:
The City of Deer Park has a solid waste collection and transportation agreement with Waste Management of Texas, Inc. which runs through 2021. Recently, owners of a local mobile home park inquired about having polycart service at their park, rather than traditional dumpsters. Their dumpsters often overflow with trash, much of which is dumped illegally by non-residents of their facility. The City’s solid waste agreement with Waste Management does not provide for cart service. However, after assessing this situation Waste Management is willing to add cart service to our contract via this amendment. Per the amendment, mobile home parks with twenty (20) or more units may receive cart service once per week. The cost will be as follows:
Mobile Home Cart Collection: $19.80 per home
Additional Cart for Mobile Home: $5.00 per home per month
Replacement Cart: $75.00
The attached amendment was reviewed and approved by City Attorney Jim Fox.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
This matter is budget neutral to City.
