ATTACffiVIENTS: ORDINANCE APPROVED BY:
Presently the city contracts with Knutson Services for residential recycling services in the city. This is an
annual contract and for 1995 Knutsons did not charge for this service. In 1994 Knutsons charged the city
$43,000 for this service.
Recently Knutsons was purchased by United Waste and they have informed us that they would no longer
provide residential recycli.ng services at no charge. Because of this, staff is recommending the attached
ordinance which makes each licensed ha.uler responsible for providing this service at no additional cost to the
� property owner.
