Title

A RESOLUTION CONCERNING REFUSE COLLECTION for the purpose of expressing the County Council’s support to encourage the County Executive to revisit the matter of refuse collection and prepare a report to review the feasibility of one day a week refuse collection.

 

Background

In 2016, the County changed from twice a week refuse collection to one day a week refuse collection.  The recent change has created hardship which includes environmental concerns for many of the County's residents.  The proposed legislation encourages the County Executive to revisit the matter of refuse collection and prepare a report to review the feasibility of one day a week refuse collection, including the fiscal impact and ramifications of returning to twice a week refuse collection.
