The Garbage Committee, af�er. con_siderationy;o.f�he..problems
invoived in the .improvement of the gar.bage and rubbis.h pick up

� 1. That a full time supervisor,be _emplo.yed to direct the wor'k of
the garbage and refuse collectors; to improve the se�aration of

2. ;That standard loc:ations should be established for :garhage and

� : . . rear, and �within 60' .of the street vvhen l��ick up is from the fr�nt.
3. That the charges f�r Commercial pick up services should be
reviewed twice..yearly, in order that proper char�e can be made
for the service. rendered. � .
- e .
It is the opinion of the Committee that,the principal sour�ce of .
servi:ce com�la�.nts �es�lt� from the lack of.ade.quate supervisiari.
__ � The appointment of such a full time super.visor; should result in
•� the elimination of a large proportion of these c�mp,laints,, and ,.
should provide a source of excellent public relations. . _ - �
Ario;ther ,source:of complaints results from rapid turn over of help.
- in this department. Lack of uniform locations o.'f garbage and rubbish
cans,makes instruction.of new personnel-difficult and.prevents tke
free interchange of employees_ to the .best interests of,the ser�vice.
Periodic: reports should be provided for the Council, not less fre-
, quently than once. each� quarter. _ This report;shoul=d reflect the
,, progress of s,eparation of garbage_and_rubbish,, the nuinber of
complaints received .each month, and any increase or decrease in
the amount,of collections.
. It is further recommended that the Cod'e be_amended to relieve the
, �Health;Officer, o_f the_ responsibility. of dete,rmining:whether residents
have the proper facilities to dispose of their own garbage and r�u_bbi;sh �
and that this responsibility be placed on the shoulders of the proposed
„ supervisor., -
