Board approves multi-year Penn Waste services agreement after fee questions
Summary
The board approved a proposed multi-year agreement with Penn Waste for district trash services running from mid-2026 to 2031; members asked how the contractor's per-day fee and number-of-days calculations produce the annual cost.
Administration recommended approval of a Penn Waste agreement for school-district services from July 2026 through mid-2031. During discussion, board members asked about the fee schedule and how the contractor's per-day figure is multiplied by the number of service days during the school year.
A staff reader explained the schedule as a per-day figure multiplied by the district's service days, noting that daily pickups are necessary during the school year because of cafeteria waste and then become less frequent during summer. The motion to approve the agreement was moved, seconded and carried.
