(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners met with Leah Meyer with the Nebraska Recycling Council and R.J. Hamilton of Hamilton Recycling and Disposal of Falls City Tuesday to review the idea of a recycling center to serve entities in Southeast Nebraska, Northeast Kansas and Northwest Missouri.
A request for funding from the County was reviewed. Recycling Center Inc. proposed a combined annual maximum payment, split between participating entities of $140,857.
The proposal calls for 10 recycling drop off points in Richardson County and would be in effect for two years.
According to the proposal, the sites are expected to generate an approximate amount of 334 tons of materials with expected sales revenue of $20,600 in the first year. 50% of sales revenue would be returned to the county at the end of each contracted year.
Recycling Center, Inc is seeking additional partners with neighboring counties and state grants, creating the potential of reducing costs for all contracted parties. Final monthly payments will be determined between Recycling Center, Inc. and Richardson County prior to the effective date of the agreement.
No action was taken by the Board.
