Disabled collection service enrollment barriers
Summary
Public Works offers a free service handling trash carts for residents with disabilities, but signing up requires a mailed paper form that must be faxed or mailed back. Commissioners said the paper process is a real barrier for a community that is often low-income and may lack fax or printer access, and asked for an online option and better advertising.

Residents without internet, fax, or easy mail access currently face a cumbersome enrollment process.
