In April, 2005, the Environment Commission recommended that the city try <br />to negotiate amulti-year contract with E-Z commencing in January, 2006. E-Z has had the city's <br />recycling contract since the city began recycling in the late 1980's. Staff receives less than one <br />complaint per month regarding E-Z. They have been responsive to customer concerns, follow up <br />with customers to answer questions, pick up missed collections, and improve their service on a <br />consistent basis. In discussions with E-Z it was determined that weekly pickups would cost <br />$2.10 per unit/per month, versus $1.55 per unit/per month for bi-weekly pickups, so E-Z and the <br />City agreed to a five-year contract, with pickups to be increased to bi-weekly or 26 times a year <br />• starting January 1, 2006. <br />
