The end result will be a <br />savings of 3 to 6 percent each year. <br />The contract comes on the heels of another money -saving contract inked with Forward Inc. in July for accepting <br />the city's glass, cans, newspapers, cardboard, and such. <br />It was a five-year deal for processing and disposing of co -mingled recyclables. The rate that the firm pays for <br />each ton of recyclables was unchanged at $36. The big savings, though, comes with Forward Inc.'s willingness <br />to haul the recyclables after they are taken by city collection trucks to their landfill operation on Austin Road to a <br />processing facility they own in Fremont at no additional charge. Forward Inc. had been charging $50 per load for <br />that service. <br />Manteca received $140,852 in payment for recycled materials during the 2011-12 fiscal year <br />Lathrop -based Harvest Power California in July inked a three-year contract with the city to process green waste <br />The city was paying $19.31 per ton to have green waste taken from them and recycled. The new rate is $19.25 <br />a ton. <br />Manteca spent $214,078 in the 2011-12 fiscal year for green waste disposal. <br />The council meets at 7 p.m. at the Civic Center, 1001 W. Center St. to consider the proposed two-year contract <br />for Forward Inc, to accept Manteca's garbage. <br />b Print Article I ® E-mail Article I '�' Sign up for our E-mail Newsletter <br />Enter a Comment: <br />You must be logged in to post comments. <br />http:/Imantecabulletin.com/ encourages readers to interact with one <br />another.
