Subject Year Round Once Per Week Garbage Pickup
Description Let?s not consider regular Monday garbage pickup because that?s
normally when a holiday falls; but let?s look at possibly Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday being the regular pickup days, and Monday being that
special pickup day instead of Wednesday.
Also, let?s look at the possibility of a computer in the vehicle and the driver
being able to interact with the system to inform the main office that there are
items that needs to be picked up and can inform them by computer. (Request of
Mayor Pro Tem Turner Pugh)
Let?s make sure we allow for public input on this recommendation during a
Council meeting. Also, let?s get a comparison of what other comparable cities
charge for garbage pickup; and how do we compare to other counties around us.
(Request of Councilor Anthony)
When the staff brings back this information, let?s also bring back what the
State and Federal mandates are that forced us in a position to begin charging
the $14.00 garbage collection fee. (Request of Councilor Allen)
Have the staff to provide the report to the Council that was previously
gathered several years ago regarding a composite system that we wanted to put
in place here in our area. (Request of Councilor Woodson)
