To: Dale Helling and the City Council
From: Chuck Schmadeke, Director of Public Works G/j�
Re: Refuse Pickup
About a year ago, the City Council amended that part of the refuse ordi-
nance relating to collection from multi -family dwellings. The amendment
was intended to identify multi -family dwellings which would receive City
refuse collection service. The ordinance amendment has not accomplished
its intended goal and therefore a change in the ordinance is once again
recommended.
The City should provide refuse collection only to those residential dwell-
ings which are best suited for public refuse collection service. Not all
residential dwellings are suited to City refuse collection service since
the City picks up refuse only once a week, refuse must be placed at the
curb; and containers may not be larger than 35 gallons and may not weigh
more than 15 lbs. when full. In addition, most individual dwelling units
in large complexes do not have adequate space for the weekly storage of
refuse.
Public Works recommends collecting residential refuse from the operation
and maintenance of single-family, duplex, triplex, and fourplex dwellings
when each dwelling or dwelling unit is located on its own lot wi
age on a public street. th front-
