Council extends waste contract and directs RFP changes to include sustainability and data metrics

Aug 26, 2026

Council approved a six-month extension of the village's residential-waste contract and directed staff to bake sustainability scoring, diversion metrics, weekly KPI reporting and a brown-yard-waste bin option into the upcoming RFP, reflecting Sustainability Advisory Board recommendations.

The full story

The council extended the current residential-waste contract for six months to allow staff and the Sustainability Advisory Board time to finalize a new RFP that gives sustainability and diversion parity with price in the selection matrix. The SAB liaison asked council to require bidders to supply named diversion facilities, fleet-fuel types, diversion-rate reporting and weekly KPI reports (volumes, destinations, noncompliance tickets and route-to-destination mapping).
