Subject: Ordinance Amending Collection Charges For Bulk Brush Disposal For
Material Brought To The City's Composting Facility
Background
Ordinance 50.40 (E) ( 1 ) establishes a rate of $3 .50 per loose cubic yard of material
brought to the City's Composting Facility. In became apparent last fall, toward the end of
the growing season, that this rate had been inconsistently applied, when one lawn service
company brought in several receipts from the City showing a variety of interpretations of
the per cubic yard fee, from actual measurement to $3 .50 per load. During the winter the
staff has evaluated the cost of processing and the value of the service, in order to have an
ordinance amendment to the Council before the 2002 growing season began.
Discussion
It is the opinion of staff that the current cubic yar44ee of the Ordinance is excessive, but
the other extreme of $3 .50 per undefined load i to I w.
The following graduated scale is proposed:
Compact pickup $5 .00 Approx. cy 1 .8
Full sized pickup $8.00 Approx. cy 3 .5
Trailer 10 to 14 feet $ 10.00 Approx. cy 13
Trailer 16 feet $ 15 .00 Approx. cy 17

DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
February

TO: Gary Dumas
FROM: Carrol Hill
SUBJECT: Ordinance Chapter 50: Garbage & Trash - General Provisions
50.01 " Definitions"
The subject section defines "Commercial Service". "The collection and removal of
garbage and trash from any establishment other than single family residences.
Commercial service shall include, but not be limited to: office buildings, private
institutions, professional buildings, restaurants, apartments, duplexes and trailer parks."
The solid waste and recycling division is currently servicing 16 trailer parks. Three of
those 16 are being serviced by bin service as is stated in the section of the ordinance noted above.
The remainder are being serviced as residential with pink bags and recycling bins.
The ordinance further defines "Residential Service". The collection and removal of
garbage and trash from all single-family residences located on public roadways within the
City of Fayetteville. _Collection of earbaee and trash from residents on private roadways
will be at the discretion of the city.
The trailer parks should be converted to bin service. This would partially reduce the
recycling volume of the already heavy recycling routes. This would also alleviate the need for
additional manpower and vehicle to meet the expansion demands of the routes. As we develop
a Commercial recycling program, we would be able to service the trailer parks with this system
at a future date.
There are approximately 16 private roads that we are required to pick up from. Some of
these roads are kept in poor condition, have narrow bridges to cross or create an unsafe condition
where our drivers must back out from the pickup point onto the street. We would like to
discontinue this practice, and at the same time convert the trailer parks (which are also all on
2
private roads) to commercial bin service. The trailer park change would initially reduce the
residential revenue source by $810.25 when converted to commercial service. The offset would
be a decrease in hours from the recycling drivers.
With your approval, we can start on this program, contacting each park and notifying the
private street residents that they must start putting their refuse and recycling at the closest street
from their private street entrance beginning April 1 , 2002.

SUBJECT: Revision to Ordinance Title V: Public Works Chapter 50.23 (c)
"Bulk brush collection and disposal service" & 50.40 "Collection Charges"
(E) (1 )
Chapter 50.23 (c) Residents, businesses and nonresidents may bring brush to the city's
composting facility for disposal.
50.40 Rates for services. (E) Use of composting facility.
( 1 ) Businesses, including commercial landscapers and tree trimmers, and nonresidents
that bring brush to the city's composting facility for disposal will be charged $3.50 per loose
cubic yard.
The charge of $3 .50 per loose cubic yard is extremely high - the current charge of $3.50
per load is extremely low. We are recommending the following rates:
Trailer 16' $ 15 Full size truck $8
Trailer 10' - 14' $ 10 Compact truck $5
Truck & Trailer (both full) $20
We are requesting that the ordinance be changed to reflect the above charges.
