9.B. 2024 Household Hazardous Waste Collection
Rationale:
From Deb Ward - Papio NRD / Nabraska Loess Hills RC&D: the 2024 Household Hazardous Waste collections were very successful, and the North Bend collection went smoothly. The total volume of materials collected during the events was greater than expected. I have attached the invoice from Retrofit Companies, the contractor servicing the collection. As you may recall, their estimate was $55,200, but the actual invoice based on the volume collected is $68,165.93.
The Lower Platte North NRD agreed to fund up to $5,000 for the collection. We had several sponsors for these collections so the amount needed from Lower Platte North NRD is slightly less—we are hoping the NRD will be able to provide funds in the amount of$4,290.47. If this is possible, the payment in the amount of $4,290.47 should be made out to Retrofit Companies. At our August 12th meeting, the Board approved up to $5,000 for this collection effort. The invoice is attached and included in bills pending.
