Blaine Currently there are 16,143 households being serviced, not including multi -family households which are considered commercial accounts and must contract on their own for services. Refuse collection is provided Monday through Friday throughout zoned areas of the City. When the Foth representative followed trucks on route in Blaine, Waste Management was the City's contracted hauler. Waste Management assigned collection route boundaries within the zones depending upon the anticipated seasonal needs. Routes may require servicing up to or slightly over 1,000 households per day. The information on the specific number of vehicles required to service all households for MSW and recycling was only made available in a range of total vehicles. That range was six to ten vehicles per day. This range was consistent with other cities. Collection vehicles observed in this City were tandem axel, 25 cubic yard packer trucks equipped with an ASL lifter for the garbage carts. Single sort recycling for residents was included in all four service options. Recycling collection was provided on an every other week basis. Waste Management provided carts to all residences and collects them in the same manner as MSW.
