In August 2022, the City entered into the Council Bluffs Solid Waste Collections Contract (2023–2032) with LCRD Hauling of INM, LLC, d/b/a Waste Connections of Iowa.

Recently, Waste Connections of Nebraska, Inc. completed construction of a new operations facility in Bellevue, Nebraska, and now intends to merge the operations of LCRD Hauling of INM, LLC d/b/a Waste Connections of Iowa into Waste Connections of Nebraska.

This merger will streamline operations, allowing Waste Connections of Nebraska to utilize its expanded resources for the Council Bluffs collection contract. The City will benefit from improved services, including access to a cutting-edge truck repair facility, more vehicle repair technicians, a larger pool of backup drivers, an expanded customer service team, and additional management support.

  There will be no decline in service as a result of this merger. The company will continue to operate under the same "Waste Connections" name, so customer interactions will remain the same. Phone calls will still be answered as "Waste Connections," and the trucks will continue to display the same branding.
