Board discusses upcoming refuse contract rebid and possible tipping-fee increases
Summary
Members previewed a November bidding process for refuse/disposal contracts, noted potential increases in county tipping fees and discussed whether to rebid to preserve competition; staff will report back with updated numbers.
The board reviewed the upcoming rebid for refuse and disposal services and discussed possible increases in tipping fees that could affect village charges.
Members said the village will participate in or coordinate bidding for pickups and disposal; county waste has proposed an increase in tipping fees, though no amount was specified at the meeting. The Chair said the refuse account has been tight in recent years and that the village may need to adjust refuse billing when updated tipping numbers are available.
The board asked staff to seek updated figures and to place the refuse contract and tipping-fee discussion on the agenda at the next meeting so members can consider adjustments to the billing schedule.
