DRIPPING SPRINGS — After using Waste Connections Lone Star for nearly 10 years, the city of Dripping Springs is looking at moving in a new direction when it comes to its trash service provider.
At its May 6 meeting, following executive session, Dripping Springs City Council voted 4-1 to authorize the city administrator to finalize the agreement and begin negotiations with Texas Disposal Services for solid waste collection and disposal services. Council member Taline Manassian dissented, but did not provide a reason for her vote.
In January, the city issued a request for proposal (RFP) for solid waste collection and disposal services. Then, the city received responses from multiple entities March 12: Frontier Waste Solutions, Texas Disposal Services and Waste Connections Lone Star.
