Waste Reduction Education and Promotions--Regional Contracts

White Goods Collection and Processing RFP/Contract--Currently, five of the planning area's six counties have contracted with one white goods processor as a way to standardize expectations involving proper handling of this material as well as obtain the best handling fee. This approach has also raised the level of knowledge concerning hazardous substance contained in white goods among decision-makers and landfill personnel. ECICOG facilitates the request for proposal process and prepares the agreements, but landfills administer their own contracts.

Tire collection and Processing RFP/Contract--ECICOG administers the contract for its member landfills as well as facilitates the request for proposal aspect. As with white goods, contractor expectations are standardized and pricing is competitive.
