Billing Time Period: 4^th Quarter of 2019 (October 1 - December 31)

Invoice Date(s): October 1 - December 31

Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?

Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Was paying for 2 carts from 1/7/19 to 10/5/19 but only had one because WM did not have any small containers on hand when I changed sizes in January.

Staff Comments: At the start of the the program property owner was given one 35-gallon weekly and one 96-gallon cart.  Hauler records show that the owner contacted the hauler to inform them that he didn't want the 96-gallon cart but wanted another 35-gallon cart.  When the  hauler came and picked up the 1 96-g cart they never returned to the property to deliver the 35-gallon cart until November 4, 2019.  However,the resident continued to receive invoices for a 35-gallon and a 96-gallon cart. The hauler has requested that we remove the entire Q4 2019 assessment. Therefore, staff recommends removing the entire assessment.
