BILL

BL2026-1442

Passed

This updates Nashville's trash collection contract with Waste Management, but as amended by the council, it strips out the proposed 10-year term extension, the $60.5 million cost increase, and the annual price adjustment clause that were in the original proposal. The revised amendment instead limits changes to updated collection schedules, new pricing exhibits, a tweaked insurance certificate requirement, and state-required language about Israel boycotts.
