Property owners must provide garbage service for all occupied dwellings. There is no option to opt out of the citywide garbage service. The property owner is responsible for paying the outstanding charge, as garbage service was provided from April through June 2019. The property is currently assigned a 95-gallon Large cart. Staff will further review.
