Snellville City staff told the mayor and council on Nov. 18 that the city will issue a request for proposals to replace its expiring sanitation contract and recommended several service changes intended to simplify operations and reduce confusion.
A city staff member summarized the program and the procurement timeline: Waste Management currently handles commercial service and subcontracts residential pickups (the meeting record identified the subcontractor by name), the residential program serves roughly 7,600 households with about 1,200 subscription recycling participants, and the present contract "sunsets on 06/30/2026," the staff member said. Staff recommended putting the specifications in an invitation to bid on Jan. 5, hold a mandatory pre‑bid meeting the week of Jan. 15, accept proposals and interview top candidates, and return a recommendation to council for contract approval at the Feb. 23 meeting.
