Improve Value of Services The City will strive to increase the value of solid waste and recycling services for residents and businesses without increasing costs to rate payers. The City will be a good steward of taxpayer resources. If possible, average or citywide costs to residents should decrease and added value services should increase. The City should leverage the strategy of synergistic competition to help improve value of services. 10. Increase Use of Resource Recovery Facilities In compliance with county requirements, the City will continue to implement strategies to direct trash to resource recovery facilities and reduce direct landfilling of unprocessed trash. 11. Lessen Environmental Impacts The City will continue to develop strategies that reduce air pollution emissions, noise and litter from trash and recycling collection operations. This will also reduce truck fuel consumption and improve overall environmental sustainability of the system. 12. Minimize Disruption to Residents If any change is made to the solid waste collection system, the City should consider how to minimize disruptions to residents. This includes (but is not limited to) minimizing changes to service operations such as day of the week and frequency of collection.
