Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to approve the contract with the City of Durham to accept municipal solid waste and yard waste from Durham County at the City’s Transfer Station in an amount not to exceed $236,000.
The County collects yard waste and municipal solid waste from unincorporated residents at the Durham County Convenience Sites as well as during roadside littler clean up and illegal dump remediation. That material is then hauled to the City of Durham’s transfer station at 2115 E. Club Blvd. The current tipping fees for municipal solid waste are $60.00 per ton and the tipping fees for yard waste are $35.00 per ton. The total amount spent per year is dependent upon the amount of solid waste and yard waste collected but is expected not to exceed $236,000.
