Council adopts amendment to define automated side‑load trash collection
Summary
Council voted unanimously to adopt code changes defining the city’s automated side‑load trash collection program after a public-works presentation and minor edits recommended by councilors and staff.
Public Works staff introduced final amendments to the city code defining the automated side‑load (cart-to-curb) solid-waste collection program. Megan Bates, deputy for maintenance and operations, and John Kachinski, environmental services superintendent, described technical changes to weights and language tied to the new automated collection equipment and the CAR2 program rollout.
Council incorporated minor language and weight clarifications suggested during prior review and received one brief public comment before approving final passage by roll call, 7–0. Staff noted upcoming public information sessions and encouraged residents to review the program details online and at scheduled meetings.
