Meridian Waste Solutions Inc., a vertically integrated, non-hazardous solid waste services company based in Winfield, Missouri, has announced it has been awarded contracts for residential solid waste collection for Districts 4 and 6 by the County Council of St. Louis County, Missouri, by unanimous vote at a meeting held on Dec. 20, 2016.
These two contract awards expand Meridian Waste's hometown St. Louis marketplace footprint by adding approximately 20,300 residential customers to the company's existing customer roster of over 65,000 residential and commercial customers. The value of the combined contracts is expected to be in excess of $25 million over the five-year term. The company will begin collection services the districts April 3, 2017, and will use its new collection vehicles.
St. Louis County issued a competitive bid document .to prospective service providers for the two districts in August 2016 and Meridian Waste was determined to be the most responsible and lowest cost bidder. The collection services include weekly curbside collection of household garbage using a hauler-provided 90 or 64-gallon cart, weekly curbside collection of recyclables utilizing the previously County-provided 35 or 64 gallon cart, monthly curbside collection of bulky waste and seasonal curbside collection of residential yard waste in April, July and October annually.
Optional services, such as weekly yard waste, excess basic service, excess bulky waste, excess household garbage volumes, excess yard waste volumes, major appliance, Christmas tree, and minor renovation/emergency debris collection services, are also available to residential customers for additional published fees. Meridian Waste says it will share basic service guideline information as well as optional service guidelines and fees upon distribution of the new residential carts in Spring 2017.
"Receiving the contract award recommendation from staff and the official vote from the St. Louis County Council is a significant and meaningful statement of confidence in Meridian Waste's team members and our ability to perform quality collection services for the citizens of the County," says Jeff Cosman, CEO of Meridian Waste. "We are already preparing for this transition with a multi-million-dollar order of new collection vehicles and a hiring campaign to attract and employ the best drivers and mechanics. It is Meridian Waste's goal to provide our customers with the highest quality solid waste services and deliver a smooth transition come April 2017."
Meridian Waste Solutions currently operates in St. Louis and services more than 65,000 residential, commercial, industrial, and governmental customers. In addition to a fleet of commercial, residential, and roll off trucks, the company operates three transfer stations and one municipal solid waste landfill.
