After scrambling to find waste collection services on a short-term basis, Austin, Texas, now has three short-term contracts for waste disposal, recycling, yard waste and compostable materials.
The city’s contract with Waste Management expired on February 28. And according to an Austin Monitor report, city council members raised concerns about more waste going to landfill.
The city signed short-term contracts with Texas Disposal Systems (TDS) and Central Waste while it continues to work on a solicitation for a new long-term contract for collection services.
