Boca Raton City Council Holds Public Hearing on Diligent Waste & Recycling Franchise Agreement (Ordinance 5800)

The Boca Raton City Council conducted a public hearing on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, to consider Ordinance No. 5800. This ordinance authorizes a non-exclusive Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris Collection and Disposal Services Franchise Agreement with Diligent Waste & Recycling LLC. The meeting took place in the Auditorium of the City’s 6500 Building, located at 6500 N. Congress Avenue.

The public hearing was part of a longer series of meetings that day, commencing immediately after the City Council Workshop. The workshop itself followed the Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting, which was scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. This structured schedule allowed for a comprehensive review of various city matters before addressing the proposed franchise agreement.

Ordinance No. 5800 operates pursuant to Section 14-21 of the City of Boca Raton Code of Ordinances. This section outlines the legal framework for such agreements, ensuring that all contracts adhere to established municipal regulations. The non-exclusive nature of the agreement means that while Diligent Waste & Recycling LLC will provide C&D debris collection and disposal services, the city retains the option to authorize other providers in the future.

Citizens with disabilities who required special accommodation to participate in the proceedings were advised to contact the Office of the City Clerk at [email protected] at least three business days prior to the meeting. This provision ensures accessibility and encourages broad public engagement in city governance. The outcome of this public hearing will determine the future of C&D debris collection services in Boca Raton.
