Dripping Springs will enter negotiations with Waste Connections Lone Star to continue services for city and residential waste collection.
The city issued a request for proposals for solid waste services within the city limits and received bids from four companies: Waste Connections Lone Star, Texas Disposal Systems, Frontier Waste and Central Texas Refuse.
After meeting in executive session, City Council unanimously selected Waste Connections Lone Star as a finalist and did not hold further discussion at the dais.
The current contract with Waste Connections Lone Star includes a franchise agreement in which the company remits 7% of funds earned through services to the city, which was an estimated $45,471 in 2019. The 7% figure is inline with other cities in the area, according to Dripping Spring documents.
