SUBJECT: FY 2025 Solid Waste Container Purchase
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The City of Killeen's municipal solid waste systems, both residential and commercial, are container dependent. Citizens are issued a 96-gallon rollout container and pay a monthly disposal fee based on the number of containers issued. Commercial businesses are issued containers of various types and sizes depending on their need, and pay fees established by Division 6, Chapter 24 of the City of Killeen Code of Ordinances.
Solid Waste is required to maintain an inventory of containers to accommodate the normal growth of the city and replace lost or damaged containers for both, residential and commercial customers. On September 3, 2024, Council approved the budget for FY 2025, which includes year three (3) of a container replacement program for residential and commercial customers. This replacement program will allow Solid Waste the ability to replace damaged residential and commercial containers throughout the city. The funds are allocated within the solid waste budget Replacement Carts/Dumpster line item for each section.
