Waste Management gets Cedar Hills contract

By Linda Petersen
CEDAR HILLS — The city has renewed its contract with Waste Management, its current garbage and recycling services provider. The previous contract was set to expire this month. The city put the contract out to bid and Waste Management, Republic Services, and Ace Disposal Inc. responded.

Waste Management's bid came in at $244,299/year, an increase of $11,056.44 over the current contract. Republic would charge the city $310,494 to provide the same services. Ace's bid was $311,549.04.

Republic and Ace would charge extra for Christmas tree recycling and city dumpsters. Those items were included for free in Waste Management's bid. All three providers would haul the municipal waste to the North Pointe Solid Waste Transfer Station, of which, Cedar Hills is a member.

City officials also considered two options: leased garbage cans (which the city would own at the end of the contract) or service provider-owned and maintained cans.

On March 6, the city council voted to have the mayor sign a new agreement with Waste Management. The council also decided to continue leasing the garbage cans because the cost would be lower for residents.
