Republic Services contract draft would shorten convenience‑site hours; county to post changes July 14
Summary
County staff said a new draft contract with Republic Services would reduce hours at several convenience sites to match activity levels; staff said the change is effective July 14, asked whether reduced hours should reduce customer charges and offered to continue negotiations in closed session if necessary.
County staff told commissioners that a contract with Republic Services for convenience‑site operations is being drafted for the new fiscal year and that the major public change will be revised hours at several convenience sites based on usage. Staff said Republic Services has already posted the updated hours at the sites and that the new schedule will be effective July 14.
Staff and commissioners reviewed specific hour changes for sites including Windsor, Hardin Town (Mary Hill Midway), Rosemead, Lewiston and the landfill site, describing which days would be closed and new daily operating times. Commissioners raised the question of whether reduced service hours should result in lower customer charges, and staff said further negotiation with Republic could take place in closed session if necessary; the board also asked staff to publish the new hours on the county website and social channels so the public is informed before changes take effect.
No vote to change fees was taken; the board directed staff to post the revised hours and continue contract discussions with Republic Services.
