"Citing a track record of stable rates and flexible services, Palo Alto is preparing to renew its contract with GreenWaste Palo Alto, the trash hauler that has been collecting the city's garbage, compost and recyclable materials since 2009. Under a deal that the City Council is scheduled to approve next week, GreenWaste would receive an average of $24.8 million per year for the duration of the four-year term. This includes paying the hauler $1.4 million for vehicle repair and maintenance, and container replacement."
"It will also allow GreenWaste to continue to store equipment at a city-owned site at 1237 San Antonio Road, next to the area where the nonprofit LifeMoves plans to open its new transitional housing project next year. Among the chief virtues of the city's agreement with GreenWaste is stable rates. Public Works Director Brad Eggleston noted at a Nov. 4 discussion of the new GreenWaste agreement that the refuse rates for commercial and residential customers hadn't increased since 2017 and 2018, respectively."
Palo Alto plans a four-year contract renewal with GreenWaste Palo Alto, paying an average $24.8 million per year. The agreement includes $1.4 million for vehicle repair, maintenance, and container replacement, and permits equipment storage at a city-owned site at 1237 San Antonio Road near a planned LifeMoves transitional housing project. Refuse rates for commercial and residential customers have not increased since 2017 and 2018, respectively. Small residential customers pay less than neighboring cities for 20–24-gallon and 32–34-gallon bins, while users of 95–96-gallon containers pay higher rates. About 88% of residential customers use the two smaller bin sizes.
