Staff Comments: The City's cart delivery records show that the cart distributor attempted to deliver 1 64-gallon Medium cart to the property on 9/13/18. The cart delivery was unsuccessful due to owner refusal. The property owner then called the City's garbage information line on 10/3/18. The customer service representative's message stated: "He is very upset that he is being forced into garbage service he does not need. He has a commercial cart for his business and does not want the additional service. He would like to speak to who ever made these decisions as he feels they are unjust." The property owner is responsible for this delinquent charge as he was responsible for accepting the garbage cart that was delivered to ensure that he was receiving the services he was paying for.
