WARSAW — The Kosciusko County Solid Waste Management District is sending out requests for proposals (RFPs) regarding its recycling drop-off contract.

During an Aug. 16 board meeting, Recycling Depot Director Tom Ganser said there are currently four potential bidders. Bids for the contract will be opened during the board’s September meeting.

Ganser also requested mileage reimbursement for his personal vehicle. Both Ganser and the depot’s education coordinator will be attending the annual Association of Indiana Solid Waste Management District (AISWMD) retreat in Indianapolis from Oct. 3 to 5.

The pair will be traveling separately, as Ganser will also be attending the annual Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) fall conference on Oct. 6. He requested the reimbursement so one of the depot’s two vehicles can remain in Kosciusko County for the warehouse workers to use. The board approved the mileage reimbursement for Ganser’s personal vehicle.

Kosciusko County Solid Waste Management District’s next meeting is at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13.
