NOTICE

 

The Town of Chapel Hill is considering changes to its commercial refuse collection services.  Commercial service includes all collections that involve dumpsters.  Among the changes being considered are charges for service.  The Town currently provides twice a week service through the tax rate.  Additional service (two more days) is provided for front load dumpsters for a fee.  The current annual fee for this optional extra service is $1,200 per container.  This fee is proposed to increase to $1,400. 

 

On May 2, 2001 the Town Council will consider options for a change to the basic service provided at no fee and a fee schedule that would address additional collections.  All retail, wholesale, commercial, apartments, town homes, condominiums, non-profits and any other site that receives commercial front- or side-loading trash collection may be affected.

 

A public hearing on the proposed Fiscal 2001-02 budget is scheduled for May 9th, 2001 at 7 p. m. in the Town Council chambers located at 306 N. Columbia St.  If you have questions about this notice, or would like further information, please contact the Solid Waste Services Division, Public Works Department at 968-2796.
