ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 3, CHAPTER 8
OF THE CITY CODE CONCERNING MIXED MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
AND RECYCLABLE MATERIAL COLLECTORS
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to adopt ordinance amending Title 3,
Chapter 8, of the Lakeville City Code concerning mixed municipal solid waste and recyclable
material collectors.
Overview
For nearly three decades, the City of Lakeville has limited the number of licenses issued to trash
haulers. Ordinance No. 362 adopted in December of 1988 limited the total number of licenses to
nine. In 1999 the number of licenses was reduced to six. The ordinance was later amended to
create two different classes of license, a residential-only (Class A) license and a
commercial/multiple family (Class B) license. Currently, the limit on the number of Class A
licenses is six, and there is no limit on the number of Class B licenses.
Of the complaints staff receives, high among them is the concern from residents about the
number of trash haulers that travel our city streets. There is also concern from staff regarding
heavy truck impacts on residential streets from multiple haulers. In the past when a license has
become available, previous Councils have taken that opportunity to reduce the overall number of
available licenses to incrementally address these concerns.
GarbageMan-Lakeville held a Class A license in 2017. The business was recently sold to Waste
Management, which also has a Class A license. This scenario provides an opportunity to reduce
the number of licensed residential haulers from six to five.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Two local residential haulers have expressed an interest in applying for the sixth Class A
license. They are Nitti Sanitation/Lightning Disposal and Highland Sanitation.
