- - The invoice will be sent over to the Finance Department with the total charge plus the administrative fee from taxation being added to the property owner's next tax bill.
- - Once all the properties are in compliance and the contracted work is complete, the Compliance and Enforcement Officers will proceed to lay charges against all property owners in contravention.
- - The Building Department Compliance and Enforcement Unit will continue to conduct proactive blitz enforcement around the University of Windsor and St. Clair College prior to the end of the spring semester and at the start of the fall school year.
Information on disposal options is readily available to our customers through the Waste Collection Calendar, 311, the City's website and the Essex-Windsor Solid Waste Authority's website. Additional education requirements are being reopened with the Town & Gown Committee.
Financial Im act
Historically, Environmental Services has spent in the range of $17,000-$30,000 (per year) on illegal dumpsite clean ups. These clean ups are done as staff and equipment are available and are either complaint driven or chronic based. In 2010, 15 calls were logged by 311 requesting this service. The department spent $17,000 cleaning those sites as well as the chronic sites.
OPTION B: SPECIAL COLLECTION
In this scenario, a day (or several days) would be scheduled to conduct a curb side collection of bulky items. The frequency of these collections would depend on funding availability.
Disposal Options
- A) Curb side on scheduled day - Residents would place their items to the curb, according to preparation guidelines, on their scheduled day.
- B) Public Drop Off Facility - As in Option A
- C) Other Organizations - As in Option A
Communication / Education
An extensive advertizing/promotion system would be required. Since the 2011 Waste Collection Calendar has already been finalized, consideration for this model would best be analyzed for 2012.
Financial Im act
Since the intent of offering this service would be to decrease the amount of illegal dumping, it would need to be offered frequently enough to be considered convenient. If collections are too far apart, it would be akin to the current level of service and therefore would have minimum impact on illegal dumping.
