A garden waste service for Logan residents could be on the cards soon.
Logan City Council has awarded a new city city-wide waste collection contract starting next July, and it includes an option to implement a garden waste service.
An on-demand, bulky waste pick up service could also begin, mayor Darren Power said in announcing the new contract.
Cleanaway Waste Management has won the contract for eight years, with a two-year extension option.
The company's state-of-the-art trucks will feature technology in their cabins designed to reduce landfill.
JJ Richards and Sons will continue to provide council's waste and recycling collection services until the new contract begins.
Cr Power thanked JJ Richards for their services over many years and said that council would work hard on ensuring a smooth transition of contractors.
Cr Power said he and his colleagues would now explore the new green and bulky waste services before the new contract gets underway.
"We will be considering these options over the next few months," Cr Power said.
Council announced in January that it had found a new contractor which could not be named for legal reasons.
"This entire tender process was done under the under the supervision of a probity auditor and I am confident the council has secured a quality outcome," interim administrator Tamara O'Shea said at the time.
""Council's waste and recycling collection service has consistently been rated as a service of high importance and high satisfaction by the Logan community,
"It is one of council's highest value services contracts."
Cleanaway's Queensland solid waste services general manager David Wheeley said the company was pleased to begin the contract with council.
"Cleanaway's mission is to make a sustainable future possible, and for us, this means taking a leadership role in environmental sustainability, providing sustainable employment for our people and actively supporting the communities we are part of," Mr Wheeley said.
"Our new side-lift collection fleet will be equipped with the Cleanaview, our in-cabin technology which provides real-time data on collection services and enables us to provide support to residents to use our services correctly, reduce contamination and reduce waste to landfill."
Council said the cost of the tender was confidential.
