4. Presentation - 2026 Solid Waste and Recyclables Collection Agreement

City Commission · 2026-06-10 · agenda_item

The City of Winter Park is considering a second amendment to its solid waste and recyclables collection franchise agreement with Waste Pro of Florida, Inc. This amendment plans to extend the agreement for an additional five years, changing the termination date to October 31, 2031. The proposed changes also include specific service enhancements starting October 1, 2026. These enhancements involve transitioning the collection fleet to Compressed Natural Gas, adding truck-integrated sensors for real-time monitoring, including an extra vehicle for yard waste collection, offering lithium-ion battery recycling, and starting a composting pilot program. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. The project scope involves the ongoing provision of waste and recycling services, with new equipment and programs to be implemented. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in waste management, fleet conversion, technology integration, and recycling services may find opportunities. Engaging early before final bids and permits are set could provide a competitive advantage.
