SUMMARY
The City holds a franchise agreement with Waste Management of Alameda County (WMAC) to provide solid waste, recycling, and organic materials, collection, and processing services. The current agreement commenced March 1, 2015 and is scheduled to expire March 1, 2022. The agreement includes the option to extend it for three 12-month periods, so if the City decides to extend the contract the maximum numbers of times, the agreement would expire March 1, 2025. In June 2020, Council authorized staff to enter into exclusive negotiations with WMAC. This report provides an update on negotiations regarding potential elements to include in a new franchise agreement to provide Hayward with solid waste, recycling, and organic materials, collection, and processing services.
