Recology, San Francisco scrap landfill contract amid lawsuits

Recology and San Francisco agreed to scrap a contract to haul waste to the Yuba County landfill, and review the measure, the San Francisco Examiner reported.

The 10-year, $112 million contract had been challenged by three separate lawsuits, including one by Waste Management Inc. The city currently uses the Altamont Landfill owned by Waste Management and that contract ends in 2015, the newspaper reported.

The city and Recology agreed to share in the costs of an environmental review of the proposal, which is expected to take a year, the newspaper reported.
