Cudahy suspends spring clean-up for one year, adopts two-ticket recycling pass
Summary
The Common Council voted unanimously to suspend the city’s spring clean-up program for one year and to implement a two-ticket-per-recycling-cart pass system for residents who pay the cart fee; council will re-evaluate the program in August 2016.
The Cudahy Common Council voted unanimously to suspend the city’s spring clean-up program for a one-year period and to implement a two-ticket process per residential recycling cart for properties that pay the recycling cart fee. Alderperson Bartoshevich moved the measure and Alderperson Litkowiec seconded it; the motion was recorded as carried on roll-call vote.
Under the approved change the established spring curbside clean-up is suspended for one year. In its place the city will issue two tickets per residential recycling cart, which residents may use for pickup of eligible items; the council directed staff to re-evaluate the spring pickup program in August 2016. The minutes do not specify which items qualify under the ticket program, whether tickets are transferrable, or any cost for additional tickets beyond those two.
Council members framed the action as a temporary change with a scheduled review next summer; no budget appropriation tied to the policy change is recorded in the minutes. The motion text in the minutes specifies the suspension period of one year and the re-evaluation date of August 2016.
