The new contracts that go into effect on October 1, 2023, change waste collection service from City-funded to resident-billed. The new waste collection agreements require certain provisions of the Municipal Code to align with the new practices. The proposed amendments will take effect on October 1, 2023, along with the new contract. The required changes include the elimination of a current provision that allows private disposal contracts for residential customers. The City is also taking this opportunity to update the Code sections to provide enhanced regulatory clarity and align the regulations with current practices.
