Subject:
Reimbursement Agreement for Curbside Recycling Collection.
Present Situation
:
Helena Recycling currently offers every other week curbside recycling services by private subscription. The proposed reimbursement agreement would allow the City of Helena to bill qualified residential subscribers for the services that Helena Recycling provides. The City of Helena would also reimburse Helena Recycling for the actual costs for purchasing up to three (3) recycling containers per customer. The agreement allows modifications, alterations, or changes by mutual written consent (which could include offering additional services). The Solid Waste Efficiency Study recommended a public-private subscription based curbside recycling collection arrangement. The proposed agreement is effective upon execution by both parties and shall be in full force through January 2, 2018, and automatically extended from year-to-year until 2022. It is anticipated that the parties will be ready to fully execute the agreement by January 2, 2016.
