Public Works recommended and council approved participation in the County Solid Waste District container program and a two‑year agreement with Kimbo Recycling & Disposal (2027–2028) estimated at $60,416.16 to maintain dumpster/disposal services and realize cost savings when the Republic Services contract expires.

Public Works told council it plans to enroll in the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District's Solid Waste Container Program to continue large‑dumpster disposal services after the city’s contract with Republic Services expires on Dec. 31.

Director Ferrell said the program supports drop‑off events and other public‑works collection needs; committees unanimously approved the recommendation and council authorized the agreement on first reading with emergency suspension to meet the county’s May 15 sign‑up deadline.
