Bristol Virginia enters into contract with Blountville landfill for accepting city waste

Bristol Virginia City Council accepted the recommendation of a special committee and will have the locality’s waste disposed of by a Blountville landfill service.

Eco-Safe Systems was the lone company to submit a bid during the procurement process and offered the city a rate of $32.50 per ton.

The vote was 4-1 with Councilman Kevin Wingard voting no.

Bristol closed its landfill to waste delivery last month as part of an agreement with state environmental officials to rectify problems with landfill operations.
