Waste Management FAQ

Why can’t the county run its own trash collection?

,

Running a countywide automated collection system in-house would require the county to purchase and maintain a fleet of specialized trucks, buy the carts, and staff daily routes across more than 700 miles of county roads. Competitive bidding allows the county to obtain that service at a fixed contract price, with enforceable performance standards, without that capital investment. Billing and customer accountability remain local with the county.
