Document Description
The City of Arcata developed a Universal Mandatory Solid Waste and Recycling Curbside collection program. The program will provide weekly automated solid waste and recycling collect at the curb for all single family residents with a cost saving option for residential households to sign up for a weekly pick up of a 20-gallon garbage tote. Each household will receive a 90-gallon split recycling tote. (1/2 for fiber - paper, magazines, cardboard etc. and half for glass, metal and plastic containers). There will be an opt-out provision for vacant parcels and those who can maintain a zero waste declaration. Multi-family customers will have weekly solid waste service expanded to include recycling collection at all multi-family customers complexes. Complexes will receive one 90-gallon split tote (1/2 for fiber - paper, magazines, cardboard etc. and half for glass, metal and plastic containers) per each 3 to 4 units, or more if needed. Commercial program highlights include expanding weekly solid waste service to include recycling collection at all commercial properties. Each business will be provided with solid waste tote plus up to two 90-gallon split recycling totes at no extra charge. An additional commercial fiber (cardboard, paper) service rate will be based on bin size and frequency of pick up. All customers will have consolidated billing service. For commercial customers account responsibility will be transferred to the property owner to encourage bin sharing and space planning. Individual business billing will be provided when requested and payments are current.
