County approves switching detention center waste service to Waste Connections to cut costs
Summary
County staff said Waste Connections quoted a rate roughly 54.6% lower than the current provider for waste collection at the adult detention center; the court approved the contract to take effect Oct. 1 when the existing contract ends.
Facilities staff recommended switching solid waste service at the Guadalupe County adult detention center from Republic Services to Waste Connections when the current contract expires Oct. 1. "Their comparable service would be 54.6% less than Republic Services," staff said, and brought the lower quote to the court for consideration.
Commissioners discussed logistics and the timeline for canceling the Republic Services contract at the end of its term; following a motion and second, the court approved the agreement for Waste Connections to begin service Oct. 1.
