Merriam gives timeline for single-hauler rollout; carts to be distributed the week of Oct. 12
Summary
Staff said cart distribution for the city’s new single-hauler solid-waste program will begin the week of Oct. 12, that a GFL mailer and website updates will inform residents, and that existing haulers will be asked to pick up old carts within 24 hours of the last pickup day.
Staff provided an update on the single-hauler program, saying a mailer from GFL with cart-distribution details will go out to residents within the next few weeks and that cart distribution will begin the week of October 12. The mailer and the city website will include route schedules, contact information, and details about how to request a different bin size after the program begins.
Staff said existing haulers have been notified of pick-up dates for their customers' old carts and that residents should leave bins out on the last pickup day; staff expects old bins to be picked up within 24 hours. If a resident already subscribes with GFL they will keep their existing bins and will not receive new ones.
