Garbage and Recycling
Lisa Dashiell wrote to BPS (bureau of planning and sustainability) for explanations of our residential community being classified as a commercial facility. With our homes being privately owned and rate increases going to commercial properties, she is asking for ‘residential equity’ in our garbage and recycling services.
On May 28th at 11am, Lisa met with Rodrigo Corona, the Multifamily Recycling and Waste Reduction Coordinator for the City. Questions asked:
-
-
- What would Riverwood need to do to change our status from commercial to residential?
- What would the change mean in regard to our current service (weekly garbage pickup in front of our homes, weekly recycling picks up at the curb, no composting)
- Which cost of service would work best for our neighborhood?
- Is there a cost to the garbage/recycling/composting carts?
- For those in our neighborhood who consistently have more than one garbage bin due to their care needs, would there be an extra charge?
- If there is an increase, would it be immediate? Rate increases in the future?
- Since monthly each resident contributes financially to our HOA, can the bill be paid by the HOA rather than each resident paying directly to the hauler? If not, this may be a deal breaker for Riverwood as the Bylaws/CCRs would need to be changed.
