Neville authorizes advertisement for solid-waste proposals; recycling left as optional bid
Summary
The board authorized advertising for proposals for residential solid waste, recyclables and household hazardous waste collection effective December 1; recycling is an optional alternate bid and no mandate was adopted.
The Board voted unanimously to authorize the Township Manager to advertise requests for proposals for residential solid waste, recyclable materials, e-waste and household hazardous waste collection and disposal for a contract effective December 1, 2026 (Motion 9). The RFP will include a base bid for weekly curbside collection and optional alternate bids for biweekly pickup, recycling and household hazardous waste collections.
Manager Jeanne Creese told the Board the specifications are updated every three years and that past boards historically declined to require recycling because of additional cost; whether recycling is adopted will depend on the bids received and the Board's later decision. Solicitor Emily Mueller said she reviewed prior contract enforcement and found the terms enforceable during the current contract term; she also flagged a recent appellate decision limiting certain street-opening fee charges that may require ordinance amendments elsewhere.
"The base bid is for weekly curbside collection with alternative bids for bi-weekly pickup, recycling, and household hazardous waste collections," Manager Creese said, describing the RFP structure. The Manager will publish specifications and return results for Board review when proposals are opened and evaluated.
