Council approves Rumpke for recycling processing; staff notes revenue-share potential
Summary
Council accepted Rumpke to continue recycling processing at a proposed $35 per ton, with a revenue‑share mechanism that could offset city costs; the sustainability advisory board and consortium counsel recommended Rumpke.
Council reviewed two bids for recycling processing and staff recommended continuing with Rumpke’s $35‑per‑ton processing fee. Staff noted that the contract includes a revenue-share component (up to $20 per ton under Rumpke’s proposal) that could produce net revenue to the city if commodities prices improve.
Legal counsel for the consortium and the Sustainability Advisory Board both recommended Rumpke; staff said the city’s net recycling processing cost this year is on track to be roughly $7,581 through July and that 2023 costs had been higher. Council moved and adopted Resolution R36 to authorize the city manager to execute the recycling processing agreement with Rumpke.
