Commission approves pilot bulk-items collection every third Saturday; staff report estimated operating costs
Summary
Commissioners agreed to a three-month pilot bulk-items collection program every third Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., removing a reference to "Landlords" and requiring citizens to unload their vehicles; County Manager Shubert estimated operating costs at $1,500–$2,500 per month for dumpsters plus staffing and possible security.
County Manager James Shubert presented a sample sign and sought direction for a proposed bulk-items collection program. Commissioners decided to run a three-month pilot, holding the collection site every third Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and revised the posted rules by deleting the word "Landlords" and amending text regarding citizens unloading their vehicles or trailers.
Shubert estimated the cost to run two Saturdays per month would range from $1,500 to $2,500 per month for dumpster rental alone and noted additional costs for a county worker to monitor and load dumpsters and a possible officer for security. The item was added to the regular meeting agenda for formal consideration.
