Board approves routing single‑sort recycling to municipal facility in Hampton at $95/ton
Summary
Staff recommended sending single‑sort recycling to a municipal facility in Hampton at a $95/ton tipping rate, a rate the facility will honor for two years; the board approved sending single‑sort recycling there to reduce costs and improve recycling recovery.
The Select Board approved a plan to send the town's single‑sort recycling to a municipal facility in Hampton after staff reported the facility will accept material at a $95 per‑ton tipping rate and will honor that rate through the town's contract period.
Staff said the arrangement aligns the town's contracts and gives the town a lower tipping rate than other options evaluated. Representatives said the Hampton facility extracts recyclables more effectively than the town's current processor and that the $95 per‑ton rate would reduce hauling costs compared with other vendors; staff said the facility will accept the town's single‑sort materials and will not require on‑site sorting.
A motion to approve sending single‑sort recycling to the municipal facility was made, seconded and carried.
Ending: Staff will implement the routing change beginning July 1 and align hauling contracts to the new arrangement, consistent with the town's current contract expiration timeline.
