What services will the City provide?Currently, the City collects residential trash, recycling, and yard waste on a weekly basis. Starting in October 2008, the City will distribute large carts for recyclables and will then collect recycling every 2 weeks. If the Limited District is dissolved, the City would provide these services to residential customers. Business owners may choose to have their garbage collected by Solid Waste Services or by a private hauler of their choice. The City also provides street sweeping, bulky item pick-up, and dead animal pick-up as part of the anti-litter program.
How do City solid waste fees compare to MUD solid waste fees?Approximately 80% of City customers use the 60-gallon cart, which costs $14.50 per month, including the monthly residential base rate. A 90-gallon cart is available for $17.25 per month, and a 30-gallon cart is available for $11.75 per month. Extra bags will be collected for $2 with the advance purchase of a yellow sticker or $4 without a sticker. The MUD charges $11 per month for one 90-gallon cart and $14.50 per month for two 90-gallon carts. This fee allows for 3 extra bags to be placed at the curb with the cart. Both City and MUD rates include recycling.
What recycling materials does the City collect?Currently, the City collects glass bottles and jars, paper, plastic bottles #1-2, steel cans, aluminum cans, tin cans, and cardboard. Beginning in October 2008, the city will also collect plastic #3-7 and boxboard as part of the single stream recycling program.
Will the anti-litter fee apply if there is a limited district?Yes. Anderson Mill MUD customers will be enrolled in the anti-litter program regardless of the outcome of the limited district election. The $2.60 monthly fee will be included on the utility bill. In addition to street sweeping and dead animal collection, Solid Waste Services will provide for pick-up of bulky items and large brush after annexation.
