Summary
Dump It, LLC has expressed a desire to offer solid waste collection services within the city. The City of Pflugerville has entered into franchise agreements for commercial solid waste collection with numerous providers. These franchises were developed to compensate the city for the use of the rights-of-way and provide a method for the city to monitor companies working within the City of Pflugerville. Insurance and indemnity bond limits are specified and contact information for each company is provided to staff. The term of the franchise is the same as the other commercial solid waste franchises. It ends on January 31, 2018 which the same date that the current residential solid waste franchise terminates.
The franchise fee of 6% of gross revenues is commensurate with that charged by other cities in our area. The city attorney has reviewed the ordinance.
