Republic Services stated that they wish to continue to honor <br /> their binding contract(Franchise Agreement) with the Town. They proposed to continue to <br /> provide both solid waste and recycling services, including back-door service, as they have for <br /> many years. They have agreed to continue these services at no increased costs to the Town or its <br /> residents and all recyclables will continue to be brought to the Indian River County recycling <br /> facility. <br /> The only change will take effect on October 1, 2015 when our residents will no longer be <br /> required to separate their recycling items and will change to a single stream recycling pick-up. It <br /> is both the Town and Republic Services understanding that the County's position is that you will <br /> be unable to pay Republic Services the recycling fee, set to increase to $2.55 per month, <br /> beginning October 1, 2015. It is also the Town's desire to remain an active participant in the <br /> Inter-Local Agreement, although it needs to be revised. <br /> I apologize if this issue has caused any difficulties for you or your staff. However, it is <br /> my opinion that our ongoing relationship with Republic Services is truly in the best interest of <br /> our residents. The Town will continue its commitment to actively support the overall recycling <br /> efforts of the County regardless of who provides this service to the Town in the future. <br /> Best Regards, <br /> Robert H. Stabe Jr., Town Manager <br /> cc;Wesley Davis,Commission Chairman <br /> Himanshu Mehta <br /> Vincent Burke <br /> Dylan Reingold <br /> Chester Clem <br /> 236 <br />
