Disposal contract up on next council agenda

In a special-called city council meeting Tuesday, San Marcos councilmembers discussed whether to extend the city’s contract with Texas Disposal Systems for the collection and disposal of solid waste and recyclable materials. 

San Marcos has had a 20 year relationship with TDS and after many renewals, the contact was set to expire Sept. 30.

In the last city council meeting, councilmembers voted to propose extending the agreement for two years rather than the usual five with the intention of putting out a request for new proposals to ensure competitive rates.
