Approval of Solid Waste Franchise Agreement - Resolution 4105-26

The City of Windsor, California, is moving to approve a solid waste franchise agreement that will govern the provision of garbage, recyclable materials, and organic waste collection and disposal services within the city limits. This resolution designates a private entity as the exclusive service provider under a structured franchise arrangement, ensuring consistent, regulated waste management across all residential, commercial, and institutional properties. The agreement includes the establishment of a franchise fee to be collected from the service provider, which will be remitted to the city as compensation for the exclusive right to operate and to support public waste infrastructure and programs. The franchise term, service standards, and fee structure are outlined to align with municipal objectives for sustainability, public health, and operational efficiency. The point of contact for this initiative is Kristina M Owens, Government Operations Manager, who can be reached via email or phone for inquiries. The action is scheduled for consideration on August 10, 2026, and is part of the city’s broader efforts to modernize waste services and comply with state mandates on recycling and organic waste diversion. The contract will be administered locally, with all services performed within Windsor’s jurisdiction, identified by the ZIP code 95492.
