CC Regular Session <br />Meeting Date: <br />10/28/2025 <br />Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. <br />5. 12. <br />Title: <br />Adopt Resolution #25-257 Approving a New Curbside Recycling Contract with ACE Solid Waste, Inc. <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The City's current curbside recycling contract expires on December 31, 2025. Earlier this year, the City Council <br />directed Staff to seek quotes for curbside recycling service beginning January 1, 2026, through December 31, <br />2029 (a 4-year contract). Staff issued a Request for Quotes (RFQ) on August 1, 2025, and received quotes for <br />recycling service from two (2) haulers. The City Council reviewed the quotes during the September 23, 2025, <br />Work Session and directed Staff to negotiate a new curbside recycling contract with ACE Solid Waste, Inc. <br />Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives: <br />Per the direction of City Council, the duration of the new curbside recycling contract is four (4) years. The <br />contract, which is attached to this case, provides for the same level of service in effect today (every other week) <br />with the same 'collection zones' that are currently used. The new contract also includes an optional subscription <br />service for curbside organics recycling. There would be an additional monthly fee for those households that sign <br />up for the curbside organics recycling service, which is outlined below. Households would contact ACE Solid <br />Waste directly to sign up for the curbside organics recycling service and ACE would bill them directly for this <br />service. The additional option for curbside recycling of organics will hopefully increase the amount of material <br />getting recycled. <br />Curbside Recycling Contract Rates <br />Contract Monthly Per Household Fee Optional: Curbside Organics <br />Year Monthly Fee <br />2026 $3.98 1 $3.75 <br />2027 $4.10 1 $3.86 <br />2028 $4.22 1 $3.98 <br />2029 1 $4.35 1 $4.10 <br />The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the new curbside recycling contract from a legal perspective. <br />Funding Source: <br />The City's recycling program is funded through the Select Committee on Recycling and the Environment <br />(SCORE). <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approving the new curbside recycling contract with ACE Solid Waste, Inc. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #25-257 approving a new curbside recycling contract with ACE Solid Waste, Inc. <br />Attachments <br />
