SUBJECT: Agreement between Auburn University - Recyclable Material
INITIATED BY: Ron Smith, Public Services Department
Recommendation: Approval is requested to execute an agreement with the Auburn
University to process recyclable material from the University.
Background: In an effort to improve the environment and renew resources,
Auburn University contacted the Recycling Division of Public Services Columbus
Consolidated Government with a request that we accept their recyclable
material. They have agreed to deliver the material to the Recycle Center
located #25, 22nd Avenue at no cost to the Columbus Consolidated Government. In
exchange, the Columbus Consolidated Government agrees to sort and recycle the
material and keep all revenue generated from the sale of recyclables.
Analysis: The recycled material will add to the recycle stream at our
recycling center and will be sold to generate revenue. The Columbus
Consolidated Government will retain all revenue generated. There will be
additional costs involved to process the material for recycling but revenue
generated will cover this cost.
Financial Considerations: Auburn University will deliver the recyclable to our
recycling center at no cost to the Columbus Consolidated Government. There will
be additional costs involved to process the material for recycling but revenue
generated will cover this cost.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: No cost to the City. Additional
revenue generated from the sale of recyclables
Legal Considerations: Agreement between Auburn University should be approved
by Columbus Council as well as Auburn University.
Recommendations/ Actions: Recommend that the Council of Columbus authorize the
City Manager to sign the agreement with Auburn University to accept recyclable
delivered to us.
