Court approves transfer of residential franchise from Blue Moon to Unified Disposal Partners

The fiscal court approved the transfer of the Warren County residential nonexclusive franchise agreement from Blue Moon to Unified Disposal Partners following a reported sale of the business. County staff told the court Blue Moon remained in compliance with reporting obligations as of the end of July and had met contractual requirements.

During the item, court members and staff clarified that the motion should be amended to cover residential, commercial and industrial transfers; the amended motion was put by Squire Cummings and seconded by Squire Aldridge and adopted by roll call.

Solid‑waste staff said services, trade names and most personnel will remain the same and that the new ownership expects to expand services by accessing additional capital. The court approved the amended transfer and thanked outgoing franchisee staff for their prior service.

Next steps include administrative updates to the franchise agreement file and continued oversight to ensure ongoing compliance with county reporting requirements.
