Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to execute an amendment to the contract between the City of Durham and Durham County for the City to accept municipal solid waste and yard waste from Durham County. The County collects yard waste and municipal solid waste from unincorporated residents at the Durham County Convenience Sites as well as through our litter program. 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 $65.00 per ton and the tipping fees for yard waste are $40.00 per ton. The total amount spent per year is dependent upon the amount of solid waste and yard waste that is collected during the year but is expected not to exceed $200,000.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This item aligns with Durham County Strategic Goal: Sustainable Infrastructure & Environment.
