The previous Solid Waste Coordinator and the Solid <br />Waste Committee recommended that the waste collection be left as <br />is and allow each homeowner to select their own garbage removal <br />hauler. It was felt that homeowners are very loyal to their <br />rubbish haulers. <br />A little more than a year ago, the City Council adopted an <br />ordinance restricting the number of haulers in the City to five <br />(5). These haulers are licensed by the City. Mr. Volk asked the <br />City Council to consider establishing an organized removal system <br />which could be handled in several different ways. One system <br />would be to divided the City into zones and haulers would bid on <br />each zone. This would reduce the number of haulers on any street <br />to just one. <br />Another method would be to restrict the City to one hauler. The <br />haulers would bid on the entire City. <br />PAGE 1 <br />
