On May 5, 2021, the City Council approved an amendment to the agreement with Waste Management adding the At Your Door (AYD) Special Collection® Service to the current contact. A Recycling Survey (2021) published to receive resident input regarding the program indicated 89% of respondents were either likely or very likely to use the service.
