Omaha, Neb., City Council Reaches Deal with Recycling Processor

SEATTLE (Waste 360): The Omaha, Neb., City Council has reached a deal with a local recycling processor so residents can continue leaving recyclables at the curb for pickup.

Omaha World-Herald reports that the city will pay recycler Firstar Fiber an additional $135,000 through the end of the year, assuming residents recycle the usual amount. The city reports additional money will come from funds set aside for the transition to a new garbage contract, which Public Works is handling.

As part of the agreement, the city will put out a request for bids as early as this week for the next contract to handle the city’s recycling,
