{Republic Services}
Coconut Creek residents may soon see curbside recycling services.
During the May 14 meeting, the commission reached consensus on the frequency of the city’s curbside recycling pickups. The commission agreed that Republic Services would provide the service weekly.
“The commission gave consensus for weekly recycling for single-family homes for a maximum yearly assessment of $490. This would also include the twice-weekly garbage and weekly bulk and yard waste pickup,” said Mayor Jeffrey Wasserman.
Currently, Coconut Creek has twice-weekly garbage pickup and weekly bulk pickup for single-family homes, with a $326 fee. During the meeting, no cost was agreed upon if the current situation is not changed. Currently, residents can only recycle materials at a location behind the city police station or at Winston Park, according to Wasserman.
A final contract has not yet been approved. City staff and the commission will review the consensus agreement before it is presented again at a future meeting.
“The city commission wants to move in the direction of weekly recycling pickup. It understands the cost of this endeavor and is taking it very seriously as it impacts our residents’ bottom dollar,” said Wasserman.
