Workshop on Waste Services

In 2007 the City contracted with R3 Consulting Group to investigate service providers, obtain bids and make a recommendation to the City. Waste Management (“WMI”) and Republic Services (“RSS”) submitted bids. RSS had the lowest customer rates for both backyard and curbside collection for 20 and 32 gallon collection. Curbside pickup service was the default rate, but once Piedmont customers sign up for the optional backyard pickup rate, they are automatically continued in it.

City Seeks Input on Waste Collection Contract – Thurs., Feb. 2nd – 7PM
Veterans’ Hall
The City of Piedmont is seeking resident input at community workshops and via an online survey on a new waste collection and disposal agreement, which would come into force on July 1, 2018.
The current solid waste collection and disposal agreement with Republic Services ends on June 30, 2018 and the City of Piedmont has begun the process of selecting the next solid waste services provider. Community members are invited to participate in two workshops to help assist the City in securing quality garbage, recycling, and composting services. Community input is sought to assess the community’s opinion of the current solid waste service offerings, and to determine the most appropriate garbage and recycling services for Piedmont customers for the next ten years. The goal of this effort is to reduce waste sent to the landfill while continuing to provide quality services to the Piedmont community.
