If all goes as planned, a new system could be in place by fall 2021
For years, Richfield city staff have been exploring the establishment of an organized system for collecting residentsâ garbage, recyclables, and organic material. Most recently, that process took the form of three online listening sessions, as the effort to institute organized collection intensified.
Held Dec. 18, 19 and 22, the sessions gave residents a chance to hear about the cityâs proposal, provide comments and ask questions. Cost to the consumer and quality of service were the biggest concerns expressed during the forums.
Handling the presentation and answering questions for the city were Recreation Services Director Amy Markle and Sustainability Specialist Rachel Lindholm.
