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. That material is then hauled to the City of Durham’s transfer station at 2115 E. Club Blvd. The total amount spent per year is dependent upon the amount of solid waste and yard waste that residents dispose of during the year but is expected not to exceed $220,000 in FY 27.
