Public Hearing August 14th
on Update of Recycling Service Level Areas
The Spokane County Board of
Commissioners will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, August 14, 2018, to
receive input on the expansion of the recycling service level areas. The
Regional Solid Waste System is proposing to update the areas included in the
Recycling Service Level Ordinance (shown in red on the map).
Within the
established boundaries of the Recycling Service Level Area, any resident
subscribing to curbside garbage pickup will automatically be enrolled in the
curbside recycling service, whether they use it or not.
Several factors were taking
into consideration for the proposed area updates:
·
Public
requests
·
Resident
petitions
·
Impacts
to residents
·
Area
growth
·
Designated
planning zones and density
·
Services
present
·
Service
provider/hauler considerations
·
Economic
sustainability
It is required by state law
RCW 70.95 that local government establish minimum service levels for solid
waste in the county. (The Recycling Service Levels and boundaries are
established in Spokane County Code, Chapter 8.58.) Residents may petition
the county for services and the county must evaluate these requests.
