MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br />PAGE TWO <br />MARCH 1, 1990 <br />which handles the mobile home parks, will accept <br />responsibility for recycling but will not agree to do <br />the pick up on the same day. Ace and BFI have <br />indicated that they would agree to pick up recycleables <br />on the same day. Waste Management made no comment at <br />the meeting regarding their intentions either way. <br />Both the City and haulers agreed that recycling <br />containers are important to encourage greater <br />participation but the haulers indicated an unwilling- <br />ness to participate in the purchase of the containers. <br />If the City wished to mandate the days of solid waste <br />and recycleable pick up to coordinate hauling within <br />the community, the haulers indicated a willingness to <br />cooperate in that effort but indicated that great <br />coordination was necessary due to their schedules in <br />other communities. <br />If the Council wishes to, as you have previously i:dicated, <br />allow the freedom of choice by a resident, and at the same <br />time require that haulers be responsible for recycleables, at <br />least one of our currently licensed haulers would probably not <br />renew their license. Also, if the Council desires to move <br />forward in this manner we would most likely not be able to <br />implement a system in advance of the April 1 license renewal <br />date for our currently licenses haulers. It would be my <br />suggestion that if the Council wishes to move forward in that <br />vein that you adopt a resolution extending current licenses <br />for a stated period of time to allow for the completion of <br />negotiations with the haulers and dissemination of public <br />information which would inform residcnts of changes in our <br />system as well an allow those residents, whose contractors <br />will no longer haul in the City, an opportunity to find new <br />haulers. I*.. would seem realistic that all of this could be <br />completed within a 90 day period. <br />Your direction with respect to this matter and future actions <br />would be appreciated. <br />DFP/mjs <br />Attachment: <br />
