Strategic Goal: Strengthen Code Enforcement and focus on the City’s
Beautification Program.
Background: The topics for discussion and/or decision making are as follows:
1. Overview of the current solid waste contract/Performance
2. Recycling Program and Market
3. Commercial Hauling/Franchise Fee/Administrative Fee
4. Ordinance Revisions Draft Chapter 50.
The new contract began October 1, 2018 with multiple changes to the
services provided to the residential units by the City’s contractor, Waste
Pro, as well as multiple changes to the service contract between the
City and Waste Pro. This contract identified how garbage, recyclables,
bulk waste and yard waste will be picked up. The new contract includes
abatements, a higher level of service with an increase in the amount of
garbage and bulk waste that can be disposed of. Bulk trash, no longer
has to be scheduled. It also took into account the uncertain recycling
market and allows for cardboard boxes to be recycled without having to
break them down.
With the current state of the recycling market, there is little if any market
for the processed collected recyclable materials. This now creates a
situation where these materials, especially paper products, sit in
storage for a long period of time. The product deteriorates and then
becomes a real fire hazard. If this sits too long then the final alternative
is to take it to the landfill for disposal. With this downturn in the market
the continuation of a recycling program has also proven extremely
costly to municipalities and many have now chosen to suspend
recycling.
Earlier, the Commission directed staff to initiate the process to have a
sole hauler for residential, commercial and abatement waste in
Deltona. The current solid waste fee is based on the assumption that
the hauler will also be the sole hauler for residential, commercial and
abatement waste in Deltona. If not approved, residential garbage rate
will increase by $1.00 per household next year. Staff will provide an
update on the new trash rules.
