ACCEPT REPORT ON RESPONSE TO VERBAL COMMUNICATION FROM MS. MARY
KEITH OSBORN*
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept report on response to verbal communication from Ms. Mary Keith Osborn
BACKGROUND:
As part of verbal communications at the January 3, 2000 Town Council meeting, Ms. Osborn requested assistance
regarding commercial trash pick-up adjacent to her home at 17051 Wild Way. Ms. Osborn stated that trash pick-up
typically occurs "in the middle of the night" and disrupts her sleep. Council directed staff to contact Green Valley
Disposal to discuss alternative pick-up times.
DISCUSSION:
The contract between the Town of Los Gatos and Green Valley Disposal provides for residential trash pick-up to begin
no earlier than 6:00 AM. However, commercial trash may be picked -up beginning at 3:00 AM. Complaints are handled
by the Community Services Department which monitors the contract with Green Valley.
There have been other instances where a residential neighborhood has been affected by commercial pick-up (e.g. Edelen
Avenue neighborhood). Green Valley Disposal representatives have worked cooperatively with Town Staff to provide
alternative hours of pick-up. Staff has contacted Green Valley and alternative times are being considered for this
neighborhood. Pick-up times will be changed as soon as alternative schedules can be completed as any change affects
other route pick-up schedules. Staff will continue to monitor this situation and will keep in touch with Ms. Osborn.
