Pinellas County waste facility employees likely to move with new vendor

Reworld Waste, a company that oversees a Pinellas County waste-to-energy facility, is being replaced by a new vendor Jan 1.

The company announced it had lost the contract to operate the resource recovery facility at 3001 110th Ave. N. in St. Petersburg in a letter posted on the state’s Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification database. 

The waste management company’s letter said 70 jobs would be lost as part of its leaving, with positions ranging from facilities manager to auxiliary operators affected.
