Postcard Returned by: Roger Strohbeen
Cost: $18.49
Hauling Service(s) Provided: Delinquent Garbage Bill Q2 2020; Service April to June 2020
Type of Order/Fee: Trash Hauling
Billing Time Period: 2nd Quarter of 2020 (April 1 - June 30)
Invoice Date(s): April 1 - June 30
Garbage Hauler: Advanced
Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property Owner states that he called Advanced Disposal in June when he received the initial notice of nonpayment from Advanced Disposal for the Q2 2020 invoice. Apparently, the customer service representative he spoke to told him he only owed around $2.00 to the account, which the property owner paid.
However, when the property owner received the Notice of Ratification and Public Hearing in September 2020, they noticed that the assessment was for $18.49. When they called Advanced Disposal, the customer service representative that he spoke to stated that the $18.49 was an error due to Advanced Disposal charging for a bulky pick up.
Staff Comments: Staff confirmed with the hauler that the assessment was for an incorrect bulky item charge. Therefore staff recommends removing the assessment.
