City says toters delivered; larger yard-waste bins limited by maneuverability
Summary
Municipal Services reported all yard-waste toters have been delivered; staff said requests for larger bins are constrained by maneuverability and collection concerns, and additional toters may be issued depending on grant funding or budgeting.
Dylan told the board that all toters for yard waste have been delivered and that the city has a list of additional requests; he said some residents find the new toters too small, but larger containers can be too heavy to move and to collect. "If we get a toner the size of our trash cans, they would be too heavy, to move around...," Dylan said, explaining the city's plan is to give one toter per household and provide additional units to those who need them, funded by grant approvals or local budget allocations.
He noted continued work to balance resident requests with operational limits: staff will prioritize at least one toter per household and then address multiple-toter requests as resources permit. Delivery of extra units may depend on a successful grant application or future budget decisions.
