Forney City Council Considers RFP for Solid Waste and Recycling Services

The Forney City Council meeting on August 19, 2025, focused on the future of solid waste and recycling services in the city. The primary agenda item was the consideration of authorizing the city manager to issue a request for proposals (RFP) for these services.

City Manager Mr. Morgan opened the discussion by noting that the city entered into a five-year agreement with Community Waste Disposal (CWD) on March 1, 2021, which is set to conclude on February 28, 2026. He highlighted that while there have been discussions regarding a potential renewal of the contract with CWD, the council also has the option to seek proposals from other service providers through an RFP process. To proceed with this option, the council would need to grant authorization to the city manager.

Following Mr. Morgan's presentation, Ms. Frankel confirmed that there was a public speaker registered for the meeting. Greg Raymer, CEO and founder of Community Waste Disposal, addressed the council, accompanied by his team. He provided a service update, mentioning that CWD implemented three substantial service changes in 2024 that yielded positive results.

The meeting underscored the city's commitment to evaluating its waste management options as the current contract approaches its expiration. The council's decision on whether to renew with CWD or explore new proposals will shape the future of solid waste and recycling services in Forney. Further discussions and decisions are expected in upcoming meetings as the council weighs its options.
