A new company will be operating Summit County's center for recycling household hazardous waste in 2009.
The Summit-Akron Solid Waste Management Authority today authorized Executive Director Yolanda Walker to negotiate an agreement with Veolia Environmental Services to manage the Stow facility.
An agreement probably will be completed before the February meeting of the authority's governing board, Walker said.
How much Veolia will be paid is largely dependent on the volume of waste that is dumped off at the center, although its base bid was $462,750 to operate the facility and dispose of the wastes.
Three other companies bid on the project, including Indiana-based Heritage Environmental Services, the company that has operated the Stow site since 1996. Its contract expired Dec. 31.
The other two bidders were Clean Harbors Environmental Services, with a Cleveland office, and PSC Environmental Services of Houston, Texas.
Heritage Environmental Services was the runner-up company.
Veolia's bid was about $54,000 lower than Heritage's bid, based on tonnage from recent years, Walker said.
Veolia, with an Ohio office near Dayton, manages Montgomery County's household hazardous waste facility and manages Medina County's twice-a-year collections, officials said.
The Stow center at state Route 8 and Graham Road typically handles 10,000 vehicles a year. In 2007, it took in 776,822 pounds of household wastes, mostly paints.
It has been open Tuesday afternoons and Wednesday evenings from April through September, but officials have indicated that operations might be curtailed in 2009 because of budget constraints.
In other action, the board voted Brenda Fargo, government aggregation manager for FirstEnergy Solutions, to a citizen-at-large seat on the governing board. Fargo, a board alternate for the last two years, is a former Green City Council member and a former Green mayor.
She won the seat with its one-year term over Akron artist P.R. Miller.
Nancy Ellis McClenaghan of Akron, president and chief executive of Goodwill Industries of Akron, was elected citizen-at-large alternate.
Donny Davis of Copley Township was named the other citizen-at-large alternate and Alex Stakleff of Akron was elected corporate representative alternate.
