2.01: Review Quotes for a New Curbside Recycling Contract Beginning in 2026 <br />Senior Planner Anderson reviewed the Staff report in regard to quotes for a new recycling contract <br />to begin in 2026. He shared Staff's recommendation to negotiate with ACE Solid Waste. <br />Councilmember Peters asked what is included in the organics that are picked up with recycling. <br />Senior Planner Anderson said organics would be food waste or things like pizza boxes that have <br />food grease on them that cannot be recycled. <br />Councilmember Riley asked how these prices compare to what they have been paying in their last <br />contract. <br />Senior Planner Anderson shared that the current rate is $3.98 per household per month. He noted <br />that ACE is proposing to hold this rate steady for the first year of a new contract and increase a <br />total of $0.39 over the course of the contract. <br />Councilmember Buscher asked if this increase is similar to what they saw in the last contract. <br />Senior Planner Anderson shared that ACE had originally proposed an increase for the last contract; <br />however, after discussions, they did propose a flat fee. <br />The consensus of the Council was to direct Staff to negotiate a contract for recycling services with <br />ACE Solid Waste. <br />
