From the article:

After a promising offer was made by a competing solid waste company, the town of Windham has decided to go back on its original decision to extend its contract with Covanta Energy Corporation.

Instead, the Board of Selectmen voted on Aug. 13 to open up the bidding process to all other companies.

Windham Transfer Station Manager Dave Poulson informed the board that he was contacted by Waste Management Inc. of Rochester, N.H. one day after the decision to extend the Covanta contract on June 26.
