Title
Consider an ordinance granting a franchise to Waste Connections Lone Star, Inc. to engage in the collection of non-residential refuse. (Second Reading)
Body
In 2014, the City entered into a Franchise Agreement with Waste Connections Lone Star, Inc. allowing the franchise to collect waste for non-residential establishments in the City of Round Rock. The agreement was for five years and expired on December 31, 2018. Since the agreement has expired, the City would like to enter into a new Franchise Agreement. If approved by Council, this new contract term would be from April 22, 2021 through September 30, 2022. This time frame would allow the City time to evaluate our current commercial waste collection program to ensure that we offer the most efficient and cost-effective services to our commercial customers.
