ACTION REQUESTED: Request to approve PSA for ARCA Recycling Inc. to remove refrigerant containing items from the Ellensburg and Cle Elum Transfer stations for proper disposal and recycling.
BACKGROUND: Solid Waste received 1,362 refrigerant containing units in 2022. With these volumes staff are not able to keep up with evacuating these units. Solid waste contacted three
companies about removing units from our facility, with ARCA being on the Small Works Roster and the most efficient and effective.
ARCA will provide all transportation and labor associated with picking up units at our facility and transporting units to their recycling center. ARCA will handle all refrigerant removal,
storage, and disposal according to all local, state, and federal regulations as a part of their recycling process. ARCA will be responsible for any hazardous materials.
