CREOC_Appendix_1.docx

Appendix 1 is a population document for the Capital Region East Operating Committee (CREOC), detailing population estimates for eight participating municipalities in Connecticut for the years 2023-2025. The document supports a Regional Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Events contract, which seeks a licensed hazardous waste management firm to conduct nine collection events annually between March and November at 321 Olcott Street in Manchester, CT, with potential for additional collections based on demand. The participating municipalities include Glastonbury, Hebron, Manchester, Marlborough, Somers, South Windsor, Stafford, and Vernon, representing a total population of 186,684 as of the 2015 State of Connecticut Department of Public Health Report.

The contract requires the selected contractor to be registered under DEEP's General Permit for one-day waste collections, hold a valid hazardous waste transporter permit, and be a certified PaintCare handler. The Town of Manchester will serve as the agent for CREOC and participating municipalities in soliciting proposals. The primary goal is to operate the HHW collection events efficiently and cost-effectively, providing a critical environmental service to the regional communities. While specific pricing details are not provided in the document, the contract appears designed to address household hazardous waste disposal needs for the participating municipalities through a coordinated, regional approach.
