MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNC <br />FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRAT <br />DATE: MARCH 1, 1990 <br />SUBJECT: SOLID WASTE COLLECTION <br />Attached for your information is a summary of the results of <br />the meeting you had with licensed residential refuse haulers <br />on February 13, 1990. <br />I feel that it can be safely said that the following <br />conclusions can be reached after reviewing the notes from this <br />meeting. They are, <br />1. It would be difficult, if not impossible for the City <br />to mandate 100% participation in the solid waste <br />disposal system if the individual property owners are <br />allowed to select their own hauler. Some of the issues <br />that make such a possibility difficult are: <br />Who chooses the hauler when the resident refuses <br />to contract for hauling? <br />Who is going to collect the bills, particularly <br />past due accounts? <br />Who is going to track each individual property in <br />the City to make sure that one of the haulers is <br />picking up at that location? We recently learned <br />on City staff that having a hauler submit reports <br />to us indicating their customcrs and then placing <br />that information on a map to make sure that each <br />property is having collection is a difficult <br />process. Each hauler has a different way of <br />keeping their records and submitting their <br />information to the City. We estimate an <br />expenditure of at .least 8 hours in information <br />tabulation. <br />All haulers will agree to handle yard waste but not on <br />the same day during heavy periods in the spring and <br />fall. Not all haulers will agree to handle recycling <br />nor will all of them agree to pick up recycleables on <br />the same day as their solid waste collection. Larry's <br />Sanitation indicated that they would not recycle and <br />that they do not want to contract for recycleables to <br />be picked up from their customers. Peterson Sanitation, <br />
