Item 74 Passedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This item authorizes the city to renegotiate and update its recycling processing and marketing agreements with Texas Disposal Systems and Balcones Resources, including revised pricing and the revenue shares that come back to Austin. Recycling markets shift constantly, so these amended service schedules keep the terms current for the folks who sort and sell the stuff from your blue bins. It's a revenue-generating contract, with any cost overruns covered by the 2025-2026 Austin Resource Recovery operating budget and the remaining term contingent on future funding.
