Council accepts low bid from Republic Services for refuse and recycling contract
Summary
Following a public bid, council accepted Allied Waste Services of North America LLC (doing business as Republic Services of Toledo) as the lowest and best bidder for residential curbside refuse and recycling; the five-year contract was authorized with 3% annual renewals and a rolling fuel-surcharge mechanism.
Service Director Joe Shaw summarized the July 14 bid opening for the city’s curbside refuse and recycling contract. Four bids were received; the lowest bid came from the incumbent Allied Waste/Republic Services with a base bid of $1,067,679.36 (below the current contracted amount of $1,082,154.56). Shaw said recycling charges will remain the same ($4.49) and the contractor reduced the per-unit limited-collection fee from $0.91 to $0.46. The contract includes a 3% annual renewal increase and a rolling three-month diesel fuel-surcharge calculation with a $3.50 base.
Council introduced and adopted Ordinance 111-2026 to accept the low bid and authorize a contract with Republic Services. Council discussed past service interruptions during regional labor disputes; Shaw said no Sylvania households were missed the last time and the provider has taken steps to improve communication and operations.
