REVISED TRASH APPROACH

REVISED TRASH APPROACH
2
Trash Pickup Changes

• Allied will be aggressive in trash pickup
• Allied will provide photographic documentation of
  violations
• Information will be provided to the Solid Waste
  Office
• These changes are administrative in nature
• More consumer education at schools and community
  centers such as PAL/Olivet's, and City recreation
  centers
• More information about tire recycling centers
• More assistance for handicapped citizens
• More aggressive community outreach and assistance

3
Enforcement Changes

• Move away from judicial process
• Document violation
• Direct the Citys hauler to address the violation
• Determine costs
• Bill the property owner
• All residents must notify City of their hauler or
  default to the City hauler
• These changes are legislative in nature and
  require amendments to the Solid Waste ordinance

4
Public Ways

• Includes parks, abandoned lots, and alleys
• Resources from Codes, DPW, and Solid Waste for
  cleanups
• Targeted surveillance
• Cameras offer long-term help
• Most of these changes are administrative in
  nature, but the City Council may be requested to
  approve an appropriation for some installation of
  cameras

5
Improve Public Awareness

• Monthly BCTV show
• Attend neighborhood meeting periodically and
  repeat message
• Advertise in non-traditional media outlets (e.g.,
  Bilingual publications)
• Increase city-wide mailing to residents via Water
  bills
• Work closely with RSD to develop a litter
  education program and projects for the students
  (likely in collaboration with Allied Waste)
• Work closely with  RBI/ Office of Neighborhoods
  to make the Solid waste Office more visible in
  the community. (e.g., Adopt a Spot, Neighborhood
  clean-ups and litter container placements)
