The City of Lincoln Park is currently reaching out to surrounding communities for the purpose of creating a joint bid for community waste collection in an effort to seek better overall pricing and save all involved communities money. Lincoln Park is facing a future deficit in the sanitation fund due to the declining property values and is interested in finding cost saving measures. We believe that contracting rubbish collection with other communities can bring reduced bulk pricing.
Update-
This project has been dropped at this time for Lincoln Park. We reached out to other communities and there was not much response to this. Lincoln Park did in turn go out for bids for Lincoln Park only and saved approximately $400,000 by entering into a new refuge collection contract. Lincoln Park may reach out to other communities in the future to see if we can realize additional savings by a joint refuge contract.
