Amanda Michelle Gomez So basically going around the board's ruling to keep their contractor. Lousy.

Update: Department of Public Works says Office of Contracts is still contracting w the dump truck company District Logistics on 'emergency' to manage farmers market compost. Move comes after contract appeals board said it should terminate its contract with District Logistics.

Thx for amplifying.

I've been an admirer (and customer) of Compost Cab for several years now, so I hope Mayor Muriel Bowser, DC Procurement, and DC Department of Public Works will commit to working with a qualified, committed partner to help meet #DC 's ambitious goal for waste diversion. #foodwaste #compost

Must-read story, and this is a particularly troubling part of it.
