Issue/Request:
AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO ENTER INTO A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR RECYCLING SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEE'S SUMMIT, MISSOURI, AND THE CITY OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI
Key Issues:
Under the agreement with the City of Kansas City, the City of Lee’s Summit will staff the center and provide roll-off boxes. The City of Kansas City will pull the containers at no charge and keep the recycling revenue.
The term of the agreement shall begin on November 1, 2017, and shall end on October 31, 2019, unless either party provides 30 days written notice. The parties, by written agreement, may renew this agreement for three one-year periods.
Proposed Committee Motion:
I move to recommend to City Council AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO ENTER INTO A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR RECYCLING SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEE'S SUMMIT, MISSOURI, AND THE CITY OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI
Background:
The closing of the two recycling centers was tied to the contract with Heartland Environmental Services, LLC, to manage the operations of the Landfill and Resource Recovery Park. Their offer to operate solid waste services in Lee’s Summit did not include recycling as part of their offered services. When the recycling centers closed, residents had the option of using trash hauler-provided services for a fee, or using drop-off locations at schools. Later in 2016, the school district closed their public drop off locations. This left residents in single family homes with curbside recycling as their only option, while those living in apartment complexes have fewer options.
