Delano Recycling Services

The Delano city council is on the brink of making the same mistake that the McFarland city council made by failing to consider offers from multiple vendors for their recycling services. A group of people from the Delano Chamber of Commerce is suggesting that the Delano city council make their bidding process for recycling services more fair and open it up to different vendors. Apparently no one on the council had bothered to look at the difference in the costs between Sunset Waste and R&F Disposal, even though R&F Disposal seems to be willing to provide the recycling services at a much lower cost. Here is a copy of the article published in the Delano record this week.

We also received a copy of a letter written to members of the chamber of commerce listing the top ten reasons why the city council should make their bidding process more open to multiple vendors. Along with the letter is a copy of a memo written by the Delano city engineer listing a price comparison between Sunset Waste, R&F Disposal, and Tule Trash. The price comparison shows that R&F is the lowest bidder in most of the service categories.
