[GreenYes] special collections for PAYT

["Brian Pugh" <bpugh@ci.fayetteville.ar.us>]

Well I have an interesting question for everyone who is familiar with PAYT programs.  The City of Fayetteville is changing over from bag collection to automated cart collections utilizing 3 different size carts with 3 different rates.  Our Council is convinced that we are somehow not providing good service if we don't allow for a residence to put out more trash a couple of times a year (most likely Christmas and Thanksgiving) and not charge them extra for it.  One council man wants to give out extra bags for that purpose which completely flies in the face of going to the automated cart in the first place.  We have to come up with a plan to allow extra collections besides having residents bring in the trash themselves.  Any ideas?  Has anyone in a PAYT community faced this hurdle also?  Thanks.
