PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING SERVICES RECOMMENDS APPROVAL
This item supports the Broward County Board of County Commissioners’ Value of “Encouraging investments in renewable energy, sustainable practices and environmental protection”.
On August 28, 2012 (Item No. 48), the Broward County Board of County Commissioners approved an interlocal agreement to allow municipalities to utilize Broward County services for the Keep Broward Beautiful, Household Hazardous Waste and Electronics, and Bulk Trash and Yard Waste Drop-Off programs on a fee-for-service basis through September 30, 2018. On April 10, 2018 (Item No. 12), the Broward County Board of County Commissioners approved an amendment to the interlocal agreement extending services for an additional year which is set to expire on September 30, 2019.
Keep Broward Beautiful is a set of programs that focuses on the coordination of volunteers for the removal of litter, including Adopt-a-Street, waterway cleanups and municipal events. The Household Hazardous Waste and Electronics program involves three permanent service locations for residential drop-off of household hazardous wastes and end-of-life electronics. The Bulk Trash and Yard Waste Drop-Off program involves three permanent service locations for residential yard waste and bulk trash drop-off. Currently, Broward County provides one or more of these services to thirteen municipalities and to the Broward Municipal Services District.
Approval of Motion A will allow municipalities to utilize Broward County services to provide the Keep Broward Beautiful, Household Hazardous Waste and Electronics, and Bulk Trash and Yard Waste Drop-Off programs for a one-year term with up to four one-year renewals, commencing on October 1, 2019. Approval of Motion B will allow the Broward Municipal Services District to participate in these optional services.
The shell interlocal agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney.
