Camden County to issue RFP for curbside collection as Meridian contract nears end
Summary
Officials said the county's curbside collection contract with Meridian ends next June and staff will issue an RFP; solid waste operates as an enterprise fund and is expected to cover its own capital and operating costs.
Lisa Lynch told commissioners the current curbside collection contract with Meridian ends next June and staff plan to issue a request for proposals. "We will be putting out the RFP any day now for that next one," a commissioner noted and county staff confirmed they are evaluating rate options and will report back to the board.
Lynch also reviewed the solid waste enterprise fund, noting it generally covers its own costs—including truck capital—and therefore has a different operating profile than the general fund. Commissioners asked whether local providers would be considered; staff said the procurement will proceed under county purchasing rules and that they will evaluate local and regional proposals when the RFP is issued.
