SUBJECT: Follow-
Price for Additional Trash Collection; Recently, City staff was asked to check with the City's
garbage hauler (BFI) to get a price on additional trash collection days if contracted on a monthly
basis. T'he Commission will recall that an alternate price was obtained for twice per week trash
collection in connection with the bids received over a year ago. While the twice per week
collection was determined to be too expensive on a yearly basis, the- most recent question was
about the possibility of contracting for twice per week pick up for only a few months during the
year.
BFI has provided us a price of $2.00 per unit per month for the service. With approximately
4,700 units in Atlantic Beach, the cost would then be $9,400 per month. They noted that the City
would have to provide a considerable amount of advance notice so that they could schedule for
staffing and equipment availability. If the City were to provide this service during some months
of the year, Bob Kosoy has estimated that the months of March and April would be the most
desirable for additional collection.
