Garbage Haulers
Wilfred Scherer reviewed proceedings of meeting that had been held with garbage haulers
doing business in Medina. he explained that the principal idea that had been agreed upon
was to allow garbage pick-up on Tuesday and Wednesday, on roads of less than 9 tons, with
a special permit for other days for a specific need. One item not considered at the meet-
ing, was a suggestion from Jim Dillman that pick-up only be allowed in the morning on those
days.
Thomas Anderson asked for reasons for the plan.
Jim Dillman stated that it would be beneficial to the road if it could be graded and allowed
to dry out without heavy trucks using it for several days at a time.
William Reiser suggested that haulers be assigned roads on which they could pick up.
Richard Schieffer stated that collectors could be licensed for separate areas of the city
or one collector could be licensed for the entire city. He stated that a proper contract
would need to be prepared, to meet regulations.
William Reiser asked if the number of stops for each hauler, was known.
Wilfred Scherer stated that they had not asked that question.
Mr. Reiser stated that if a certain hauler was given the same number of stops on a given
road, his business would not be affected.
Mr. Schieffer suggested that a questionaire be sent to residents soliciting their ideas on
such a program and he would review the laws regarding a licensing program.
Moved by Heideman, seconded by Scherer to table the garbage hauling matter until January 7,
1986, pending receipt of a plan from the City Attorney as to how haulers could be legally
licensed and with a letter sent to city residents after receipt of the attorneys report.
