One city’s waste became another company’s treasure.

The City Council is looking to approve a two-year contract with General Environment Management, Inc. in the amount of $200,000 for the transportation of its hazardous waste, according to staff reports.

The city’s hazardous waste comes from emergency response, municipal activities and the Household and Small Business Hazardous Waste Collection Center, which serves residents.

The contract would go into effect July 1.
