28. Approve Annual Piggyback Contract for Residential Recycling Carts

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is considering approval of an annual piggyback contract for residential recycling carts. This contract would allow the county to purchase 64-gallon plastic recycling carts from Toter, using pricing from an existing Sourcewell contract. Purchases will be made as needed to support the residential recycling program, which serves approximately 203,000 single-family homes. This item is currently under review and planned for approval. The project involves the ongoing purchase and distribution of recycling carts, including replacements for lost or damaged units and new carts for new homes. This could lead to work for suppliers of plastic refuse and recycling containers, as well as related technology. Early engagement with county procurement officials could provide insight into future needs and opportunities before formal bids are established.
