<br /> <br /><ß <br /> <br />Finance Department <br /> <br />October 1, 2004 <br /> <br />To: Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br /> <br />From: Pamela S. Dubois, Deputy County Manager ~ <br /> <br />Subject: Curbside Recycling in Cabarrus County <br /> <br />Attached is a survey that will be sent out to all County residents in the unincorporated <br />areas to obtain their vote for or against curbside recycling. The cost of this service to the <br />residents would add an additional $2.75 per month to their garbage collection bill. <br /> <br />The County's Solid Waste Department and BFI have been working together to offer this <br />service to the citizens in the unincorporated areas. The only way to provide this <br />convenient service is by majority consensus (as opposed to a mandatory service). Trash <br />services in the County are paid directly to the contractor by the residents each quarter. <br />Tax dollars are not used to provide this service in Cabarrus County. <br /> <br />The main issue I would like to point out to the Board for approval of this survey is this: <br />"If the majority of the residents want this service, it becomes part of the BFI service <br />(everyone will pay for the service)". To illustrate this statement: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />10,000 surveys are distributed <br />5,000 survey responses returned <br />55% ofthe 5,000 responses are in favor ofthe service, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />then the service will be put in place for all 10,000 households at a cost of$2.75 per <br />month. <br /> <br />~ <br />~~~ofœri~~m!Y <br /> <br />NORTH CAROLINA <br /> <br />Finance Department <br />P.O.
