Dear Mr. Dahlberg,
I received your letter of August 29, 1990 concerning the
city charges for garbage collection. Hopkins City Code,
section 605.02, authorizes the City to "exclusively perform
or contr~ct for the collection of all mixed municipal solid
waste from all single family dwellings". .
The city provides all single family' dwellings with a
authorized container and charges each dwelling owner for
collection whether or not there is any garbage collected.
The city of Hopkins made this decision in order to provide
an economical and environmentally safe method of waste.
disposal for all its residents. If each resident was able
to choose their own method for disposing o~ their garbage,
there might be, unfortunately, those who would not dispose
of their garbage in an environmentally safe manner.
.
I would recommend that you use the city provided container
for your garbage. If, however, you wish to contest the
assessment you must do at or prior to the Assessment Hearing
which will be held on September 4, i990 in the city Council
Chambers. I have enclosed an appeal form.
SinCere~lY yours,
