Stated Reason for Appeal (if given):
Staff Comments: The property owner indicated in a previous dispute: "We feel misled. We did not have a change in our garbage collection service during the transition to organized pickup. We were told by Advanced Disposal that we would not need to change our automatic payment during the transition. This was untrue and we have settled the matter with AD." Although the property owner received incorrect information from Advanced Disposal, the property owner did not provide payment for the Quarter 4 2018 garbage bill. The property is responsible for the delinquent balance, as garbage service was provided from October through December 2018.
