The Council agenda proposes authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with BSS Recycling, LLC to process recyclable materials at the Mooresville Material Recovery Facility at $131.31 per ton, with backup processing at the Conover Material Recovery Facility at $123.31 per ton. The agreement includes a 50 percent commodity revenue-sharing arrangement and is scheduled to take effect July 1, 2026, with funding already placed in the proposed FY2026-2027 budget.
