Solid Waste Board Meeting

Waupaca County Solid Waste Board meeting, November 10, 2026. The board approved a motion to raise the county’s charge for bulk tire disposal to $400 to match Liberty Tire’s updated charge and avoid subsidizing the service. The updated vendor agreement and final figures were still being confirmed; staff noted that approval by the board and County Board may be required depending on the contract amount and signing-authority thresholds. The board discussed keeping individual tire charges at $7 without a rim and $14 with a rim. Facility updates included completed paving near the tipping-floor entrance and remaining work at the old farmstead area; no project costs or new contract awards were stated. A computer and related components had been replaced after equipment problems, with insurance reimbursement still undetermined, and staff discussed replacing another slow computer without a formal board vote.

Members also considered outreach and publication options, including mailing or inserting a recycling guide with tax bills, but made no spending decision. Staff reported that the household hazardous-waste collection season had ended and discussed waste-reduction topics through state and regional groups. No other procurement awards or budget allocations were identified.
