Memorandum
To: Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Allyn Kuennen, Assistant City Administrator

Date: February 25, 2019
Agenda Item: Waste Hauler Service Area and Schedule
At their January 2018 retreat, the City Council discussed complaints from residents regarding
waste hauler collection services within the city. The issues voiced by residents included
concerns related to the continuous disruption and noise from truck traffic on residential
streets and neighborhoods, increased wear and tear on roadways, constant display of
unsightly trash containers, increased instances of waste spillage, oil spills from blown
hydraulic hoses used on the trucks, and inefficient use of services and infrastructure.
To address these concerns Council directed staff to review options for developing service
areas within the city to condense the number of days haulers are in each neighborhood.
Cities throughout the metro area address these concerns in various ways. Options range from
the current uncoordinated system to an organized collection system where the city selects a
hauler through a competitive bidding process to provide the service for the entire city. In
between these two options are opportunities for the city to consider a hybrid system that
allows residents to continue to individually contract with the hauler of their choice, but also
includes management by the city to establish which days of the week the collection occurs by
zones.
City Council reviewed options regarding waste hauler service areas at their work sessions in
May and July of 2018 and most recently at their 2019 retreat in January. During this time, staff
also continued to work with the waste haulers to refine the scenarios and schedules for
implementation of waste hauler service areas within the city. The attached map incorporates
the input received from the haulers and staff’s recommendation for implementing service
areas and days within the city.
In implementing the service areas, the haulers requested at least a six-month notice prior to
the new system being implemented to give them time to determine logistics, marketing, and
notifying their customers. They indicated transitioning to a new schedule would be the least
disruptive if implemented in the first week of December or after the holidays in the first week
of February.
