AGENDA ITEM TYPE:  


BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Bid provides proper identification, collection, handling, consolidation, packaging, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal of household hazardous waste accepted by the County.

As further described in the memo attached, Care Environmental Corp. has several active violations including improper storage, handling, and documentation of hazardous waste, as well as failure to comply with Hazardous Waste Act & Rules and failure to provide an approvable assurance mechanism for the past several years.  Care Environmental Corp. has been assessed fines for these violations and to date the fines have not been paid and the violations have yet to be resolved. This creates a liability for the County as the County is responsible for materials even after these materials are removed from our facility until proper disposal.
