Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:

Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Based the level of service that we are receiving, we should not have any out standing balance to be paid to Advance Disposal currently.  We are being billed for a large 94-gallon cart that was never deliverd to our property.

Staff Comments: The assessment of $6.36 is the difference between a medium 64-gallon cart ($96.08) and a large 94-gallon cart ($102.44). Resident stated that they were billed for a 94-gallon cart, which they requested but was never delivered. Therefore they decided to pay for the cart they had, which was a medium 64-gallon cart. The photo provided by the resident does prove that as of 10/20/2020, the cart swap had not occurred. The serial number on the cart in the photo is the same as the original cart that was delivered in September 2018. Therefore staff recommends removal of the assessment.
