Standardized Containers
Director Worthington opened the meeting, requesting an update on the trash
collection pilot program. Ms. Thompson provided mid - program survey results and
presented a video showing before and after footage of the pilot program areas.
The video reflected a much - improved appearance of the streets on trash day with
the standardized containers. Ms. Thompson reported the response cards from
the mid - program survey are mostly favorable. Mr. Hamers suggested the Board
may wish to make the video available to the Costa Mesa City Council to make
them aware of our pilot program. As multi - family dwelling areas are coming under
scrutiny, it might be a good idea to show how this program can help toward City
beautification.
Ms. Thompson presented the following timeline for the standardized container
pilot program:
