Hauling Service(s) Provided: Garbage Service; Jul 1 - Sep 30 2019
Type of Order/Fee: Trash Hauling
Billing Time Period: 3rd Quarter of 2019 (July 1 - September 30)
Invoice Date(s): July 1 - September 30
Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): I have never had one piece of garbage collected, and returned my cart to City Hall before collection started (so billing is fraud). This is extortion - a threat for service not used.
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 is currently signed up for service for a 1 35-gallon small cart with every other week pick-up. 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.
