I CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO Honorable Mayor and Members DATE . SEP 2 01993 FILE of the City Commission Resolution for Residential SUBJECT : Curbside Garbage Collection i FROM : Clt ra REFERENCES ENCLOSURES: s RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution approving the Department of General Services Administration and Solid Waste's change from the backyard method of collecting garbage from single and duplex residences to a curbside collection method. BACKGROUND In November, 1982 the City Commission conducted a straw ballot asking its residents if they would support curbside garbage collection. The issue passed, however no administrative action was ever taken to effectuate a change in the manner in which the Solid Waste Division collected garbage from its single and duplex residences. Resultantly, we are now, eleven years later bringing this issue back to you to receive policy guidance regarding this matter in light of the many changes in staffing, tipping fees and neighborhood sentiment that have concurrently occurred. By changing the method of collecting garbage from the backyards of single and duplex residences in the City, we will be able to redirect approximately seventy-six (76) Waste Collectors to other much needed cleaning functions such as sweeping behind trash cranes, cleaning of litter from neighborhood streets as White Wings and the maintenance of public rights -of -way and swai.ls. Additionally, we anticipate a reduction in on-the-job injuries, absences due to illness, and citizen complaints regarding both the regularity of their garbage collection and the manner in which their neighborhoods are being left after garbage has been set -out by workers because of the constant shortages in staff which have resulted from these factors. 93- 600.1 i i Page 2 IHonorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission In addition we are the promotion of the balance of proposing Standby Laborers to permanent Waste Collectors the exiting laborer program. i and the elimination of the temporary I The City Manager and Assistant City Manager for the department request your approval of this action. a CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM SEP TO : The Honorable Mayor F and � -C Members of the City Commission DATE FILE j Curbside Recycling j SUBJECT Collection FROM.
