Thank you to the citizens who attended the meeting on April 17

 

Below is a summary of the proposal that was given to the City by Veolia Environmental Services

Regular Trash Service: Veolia would supply one 96 gallon  tote to each residential customer in a single housing unit. Residents would be able to place desired number of bags in the container so long as the lid would close. Veolia would ask that everything placed within the tote be bagged. Any bags or cans outside the tote would not be picked up until the following week. Apartment buildings, multi-residential units or any other revenue generating venue would not be part of the tote program and would need to contract separately with Veolia.

Recycling: The recycling program would remain the same.

Spring Cleanup: The Spring Clean-Up would be eliminated and 1 large item a week program would be set in place. This would allow each resident to place one large item out for pickup each week. Items taken will be listed within the amendment. Landlords with college students would be able to have special cleanups for their move-in and move-out seasons.  One-unit $35.00, 2-units $75.00, and multiple units would need to contact Veolia for pricing information.

Appliances: Appliance Clean-Up would be available twice a year.  The date of the Appliance pickup would be decided by Veolia. These days would be advertised in the Kirksville Crier and Daily Express for City residents.

Yard Waste: The once-a-month yard waste program would be eliminated and in its place Veolia would provide the following:
