This notice was sent to all City of Rohnert Park refuse collection customers and to all owners of property who receive City refuse
collection service. At the public hearing on June 26, 2001, the City Council will consider a proposed decrease in residential refuse
collection rates effective July 1, 2001 for residential customers. The decrease is due to the lower contract price with the City's new
garbage provider, Rohnert Park Disposal. However, there are two charges that are being proposed to increase, extra garbage and
contaminated yard waste. There is also a new charge being proposed for change in container size ($5.00). Customers will be
allowed to change their garbage container size once a year free of charge. Each additional change will cost $5.00.
The following is a comparison of the current and proposed refuse collection rates. Residential rates are composed of new automated
20 gallon containers, as well as 32, 68 or 95 gallon containers, 95 gallon automated yard waste containers and new 68 or 95 gallon
automated recycling containers, replacing the 3 recycling bins.
