Memo- Yard Waste And Brush Services . I Public Works Department I Memorandum To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Fram: Steven J. Stadler, Public Works Directo~-~ Date: February 4, 1999 Subject: Yard Waste and Brush Services Review Backqround The Public Works Department provides a variety of brush collection and yard waste services, including seasonal curbside pickup of yard waste and brush and drop-off services without user fees and curbside services with a user fee: $1/bag yard waste . sticker or a volume-based brush fee. Over the past decade the brush and yard waste services have evolved from basically free curbside collection to a mix of free services in the spring and fall and curbside service with a user fee at other times of the year. The drop-off services were added, I believe, at the same time the city began charging user fees. In 1997, the Fall leaf pickup program was modified to provide free curbside collection during the month of October only. Free Fall services in Belgrave, Interlachen, Hobby Acres and Park Ridge neighborhoods was limited to the street pickup during the last week of October. After the free October services, residents must pay $1/bag or use the drop off program. As a result, during the past two Fall seasons we've received complaints regarding the timing of our collection services. Prior to 1997, leaves were picked up without a fee until the first winter snow. It was agreed after this past Fall that we should discuss our brush and yard waste services to determine if they could be improved to better match our customer expectations. A description of the 1997 program changes and program budgets are attached. e . Current services Yard Waste: . Free curbside bag collection in the spring, April 15 - May 15 . $1/bag (sticker) weekly curbside collection May 15 - September 30 . Free street leaf pickup - Belgrove, Interlachen, Hobby Acres, Park Ridge neighborhoods (typically scheduled during the last week of October) - $1/bag curbside collection after the street pickup . Free weekly curbside bag collection during month of October only in all other areas of the city - $1/bag curbside collection after October . Free drop off program mid-May - mid-November (Wednesdays and Saturdays through September and Saturdays only through mid-November) Brush: . Free curbside collection each Friday by call-in mid-April - mid-May . Free curbside collection on first Friday in September . Volume-based fee curbside collection each Friday by call-in, $5 minimum charge . Free drop off program mid-May through mid-November Resident concerns with current services . Free curbside or street leaf collection programs end before leaf fall is finished . . City doesn't do free city-wide brush pickup after all severe storms . Yard waste collection sometimes falls behind schedule due to volume of bags and size of collection routes City service ooal . Provide a higher level of service with comparable rates when compared to cities with contracted refuse services Prooram elements . Promote alternatives to costly curbside collection, i.e., drop-off program, mulching, home composting . Grind brush - do not burn brush . Retain some degree of user fees for higher level (more convenient) services . Retain some free services to assist homeowners and promote yard maintenance, i.e., free Spring and Fall programs e . Staff recommendation The most significant complaint we've received regarding yard waste has been cutting off the free Fall curbside collection too soon. Staff recommends that this program remain as-is but that the free Fall curbside collection extend until the end of the first week in November. This means that the street pickup program will be done during this week and free bag collection (in other areas of the city) will also extend one week. Regarding the concern about staying on schedule: Changes have been made which has improved our service - this was not an issue this past year. City-side storm cleanup: Staff proposes that the decision to provide this additional service continue to be handled on a case-by-case basis. After a storm the city is canvassed to determine extent of downed branches. If the damage is significant and widespread, the city will provide a city-wide pickup. . e - .- !
