OTISFIELD — Selectmen have accepted a bid from Pine Tree Waste to handle the town’s solid waste disposal, Administrative Assistant Anne Pastore said Monday.
Pastore said that of the two companies that submitted bids, Pine Tree Waste had the low bid of $70 a ton and $350 to haul a load of solid waste to the Mid-Maine Waste Action Corp. in Auburn.
The contract with Pine Tree Waste will last from Oct. 2, 2017, to Sept. 30, 2020.
Pastore said the town is currently using Pine Tree Waste, and that the new contract is a “re-up of the deal we had with them.”
The solid waste disposal deal does not cover recyclables, she said.
Selectmen voted in June to sign a contract with Tice Waste Management of Norway to pick up all of the town’s recyclables from the transfer station and sell them to another company.
Oxford County Regional Recycling Corp. announced earlier this year that it would no longer collect recyclables in Otisfield because the corporation was planning to dissolve.
