Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): This is way to expensive for me. I have never had trash collection before. My garbage is at the most one paper grocery bag per week. I shared with my neighbor.

Staff Comments: 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 currently has 1 35-gallon small cart. If the property owner wishes to change to a smaller size, staff can help arrange this with the hauler. The property owner is responsible for paying the outstanding charge, as garbage service was provided from July - September 2019.
