The City Council of Oxnard held a meeting on April 21, 2026, to discuss and approve a second amendment to Agreement A-8280 with Waste Management of California, Inc. This amendment extends the contract term by one year, from May 15, 2026, to May 14, 2027, with an additional value of $12,447,140, increasing the total contract value to $65,657,827. The contract covers collection and processing services for garbage, recyclable materials, and organic waste for approximately 41,770 customer accounts, managed through the city-owned Delorth Regional Recycling and Transfer Station. The extension is recommended to maintain cost control while monitoring market conditions before committing to a longer-term agreement. The current disposal rate is $36.74 per ton, with Waste Management having raised rates by an average of 5.7% annually during the contract period. The city requires an additional $5.66 million in funding for fiscal year 2026-27 to cover the extended agreement.
