“Lets Talk Trash”
Downtown Sanitation Service

2. Understanding Current Conditions
Why Are We Here?
Understanding Current Conditions
Increasing number of businesses and residences
Frequency of trash pickup is inconsistent
Not all downtown business owners currently have trash service
Quantity of cans in alleyways is obtrusive
Physical condition of alleyways prevents regular maintenance
Alleyway ownership creates difficulty in building consensus and providing services
Disposal of household garbage, furniture and construction materials in alleyways
Graffiti present in certain alleyways
Disruptive parking in alleyways and at certain alleyway access points
Decorative cans and recycling receptacles designed for public use oftentimes overfill

3. Central Business District

4. Potential Solution?
Require business owners in a defined downtown district to participate in a mandatory trash service provided by the City of Newnan
Develop unique fee schedule dependent on solid waste volume and frequency of service
Operation managed utilizing current Sanitation Fund
Enhance and aggressively enforce code enforcement to remediate alleyway trash accumulation
Keep vehicles and other obstructions from blocking alleyway access points
Routinely clean and maintain alleyways, sidewalks and trash receptacles

5. How?
Operational and Capital Funding Expense Estimates assumes that the City of Newnan would manage the operation and service the defined downtown district with six days per week service for garbage collection as well as routine maintenance of alleyways and adjacent public spaces.
Operational Income and Fee Schedule was developed utilizing the following components:
Number of trash cans
Frequency of service
Rate for service per can
Environmental service
Billing/administrative costs
Business type*

6. Considerations?
243 properties located in the Central Business District
81 access points from downtown businesses into alleyways
Currently, 5 solid waste providers service downtown customers
Over gallon cans being serviced by just one provider
Currently, monthly service fees range from $25/month to $500+/month
Currently, the average frequency for pickup is once a week; restaurants typically receive more frequent service
