The City of Detroit has picked two waste-disposal companies to take over residential service and recycling, a deal expected to save the city $6 million a year.
Rizzo Environmental Services and Advanced Disposal Services won the contracts after bid requests were issued over the summer. Emergency manager Kevyn Orr made the announcement in a letter dated Nov. 7 to local union heads.
The city will now negotiate five-year contracts with the two firms based on their proposals, Orr spokesman Bill Nowling said.
