RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends selling one hundred (100) 300-gallon surplus waste containers to the City of Powell, Wyoming.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
The City regularly sells used 300-gallon containers to other municipalities throughout the State of Montana each year. Due to the conversion from shared 300-gallon containers to individual containers that occurred in 2022, the City has an excess of used 300-gallon containers. City policy allows the sale of containers to communities within Montana without advertising the sale and without Council approval. However, to sell to municipalities in other states, Council approval is required.
The City has been charging $100 per container. A new container is $494. These containers are extremely worn, but are of good value for small municipalities.

ALTERNATIVES
City Council may:
- Approve the sale of one hundred 300-gallon waste containers to the City of Powell, Wyoming for $10,000; or,
- Not approve the sale. If not approved, the City will need to find an alternate way to dispose of the containers.
FISCAL EFFECTS
Revenues from the sale of the containers will generate $10,000 for the Solid Waste fund.
