Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:

Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): I have been unemployed since this program started in October 2018. I do not think it's fair to assess and force a fee on someone when they are going through a financial hardship and who doesn't have the ability to pay. It's completely unfair to force someone to pay for something that I don't need nor do I want nor can I afford to pay. I have other more pertinent bills to pay and am looking to cut costs wherever I can.

Staff Comments: Under citywide garbage service, all residential properties with up to four units, including rental homes and town homes, 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. Any garbage service provided must be paid for by the property owner. Staff recommends approving the assessment.
