Appendix A <br /> EXPLANATION OF GARBAGE HAULING SYSTEMS <br /> OPEN HAULING <br /> This is the method that is currently used in Mounds View. Residents choose their own hauler and that <br /> hauler can pick up on any day of the week. Billing is done by individual haulers. <br /> ZONING METHOD (NON-ORGANIZED) <br /> A zoning method allows residents to choose their hauler, but requires that haulers pick up materials on <br /> a specific day. The same number of trucks would travel on the streets, but all traffic would pass <br /> through on one day of the week. Billing is done by individual haulers. <br /> BID CONTRACT BY DISTRICT/ORGANIZED CONSORTIUM HAULING <br /> Organized consortium hauling is an association of all haulers licensed in a particular city. A single <br /> contract is negotiated between the city and the hauler consortium which specifies charge and service <br /> levels. Routes are either redesigned to reflect the number of accounts each hauler had under the open <br /> hauling system or divided equally among all haulers. Residents and businesses are assigned the hauler <br /> designated to serve their street or district. Billing can be done by either the city or by the individual <br /> haulers. Service levels and costs are consistent throughout the city since there is only one contract. <br /> MUNICIPAL COLLECTION <br /> Municipal Collection would give the City the responsibility for collection of garbage and recycling. <br /> Private haulers would no longer operate within the city; the city would purchase its own trucks and <br /> containers for residents and/or businesses. Billing would be done through the city utility system. <br /> BID CONTRACT-ONE HAULER <br /> In this system, the city establishes guidelines for service at all residential and/or commercial <br /> establishments:Contracts are either sent out for bids or are negotiated with-the--hauler-s.—One-hauler <br /> then services the entire city. Billing can be done by either the city or the hauler. <br />
