City staff to enter trash/recycling service
negotiations with new provider
The Colleyville City Council passed a resolution at its April 4
meeting directing City staff to enter contract negotiations
with a new trash/recycling provider, Community Waste
Disposal, for residential and commercial service.
The City's current contract with Waste Connections,
formerly Progressive Waste Solutions, concludes on Oct.
31, 2017. The new service would begin Nov. 1, 2017.
City Council decided to open the next contract to bids from
other providers as well as Waste Connections. City Council
then received presentations with the companies that
provided the two lowest bids, Waste Connections and CWD.
While no contract has been finalized, CWD provided the
lowest pricing for the same level of basic service, which is
actually a price decrease from the current contract. The
CWD proposal included several optional service
enhancements such as curbside collection of household
hazardous waste and electronics for recycling, which City
Council directed staff to explore as part of contract
negotiations.
A formal contract will be brought forward for City Council
consideration at a future City Council meeting. City staff
will continue to communicate throughout the process
including contract details following adoption and
information on the transition period.
