Invoice Date(s): January 1 - March 31
Garbage Hauler: Aspen
Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property owner requested a vacation hold from January - late March in December 2019. The only pick up made by Aspen Waste during this period was on March 30, 2020. However, property owner is still being charge for Q1 2020. When they called Aspen to complain, the customer service representative stated that they had no record of a request for a vacation hold and stated that the property owner should have mailed or emailed the request in December. However, the property owner was not informed of this at the time.
Staff Comments: Hauler confirmed that they did not receive a service hold request for this customer back in December for Quarter 1 2020 service. It is true that the trash was not picked up during Quarter 1 2020. However, this was due to the fact that the garbage cart was not placed out for collection rather than the a service hold. The hauler stated that property owner did call the hauler on 05/01/2020 to request a service hold. However the initial reason for the service hold was due to the fact that the property owner did not generate a lot of trash and therefore did not use the service. There has since been a service hold placed on the account for 5/18/2020 -8/03/2020. Therefore staff recommends approving the assessment.
