Robert Medikovich, a representative of Community Waste Disposal, told the Corinth City Council the company has serviced the city since 2013 and that ‘‘the community’s grown 31%’’ since then. He said the company operates three compressed-natural-gas collection trucks in Corinth and that those vehicles remove an estimated 9,300–9,500 conventional collection trips from North Texas roads each year.
Medikovich cited last year’s operations figures: about 54 tons of commercial recycling diverted and a little over 20,000 pounds of household hazardous waste (HHW) collected through periodic community events. He said CWD maintains an incident-reporting program for driver conduct ‘‘and we use that as a training tool’’ when speeding or other problems are reported.
He described a transfer station at 2010 California Crossing and outlined plans for a state-of-the-art recycling facility upgrade with vendor Opti, estimating a project cost between $6 million and $8 million planned for next spring. Medikovich also described a company donation of approximately $42,000 tied to a community recycling initiative in August and noted local sponsorships of chamber events and school outreach.
The presentation closed with an offer to answer questions; council members did not raise substantive follow-up in the recorded transcript. The presentation was framed as the annual review required under the city’s franchise relationship with the vendor.
