CITY OF COSTA MESA RECYCLING PROGRAMS
Curbside Trash Collection
Mr. Hamers reported District Staff is in the process of implementing the change required
by the City of Costa Mesa Title 8 amendment, necessitating parcels with five or more
residences to be serviced on site. Property owners affected are being requested to sign
a release so that Costa Mesa Disposal has no liability in driving onto homeowner's
property. The hold harmless agreement must be signed and on file before Costa Mesa
Disposal can drive on private property and collect trash. A list of parcels that can be
serviced on site and properties requiring an exemption from the City that will continue to
be serviced curbside was confirmed with Costa Mesa Disposal, and delivery of flyers to
units with no change in service is being made.
The meeting was adjourned at 10.36 a.m.
