Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): I can not attend the hearing in person, but I have attached a letter below to explain by dispute.

Staff Comments: Property owner does not want garbage service, since he is a zero-waster. Under citywide garbage service, all residential properties with up to four units, including rental homes and townhomes, are required to have a garbage cart and receive garbage service for each dwelling unit. 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 January through March 2019. The property owner is currently using a 35-gallon Small Weekly cart. If he is interested, Public Works staff can help him arrange to have the 35-gallon Small Every Other Week cart.
