CC-C REQUEST FROM CONSOLIDATED DISPOSAL SERVICES, INC. FOR
ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL
REFUSE RATES
Juan Nunez, 2702 Del Mar, Rosemead, stated that some people do not recycle their trash
nor green waste and what effect does this have on the rates since trucks have to use other transfer
facilities.
Mayor Bruesch responded that the tonnage is not in question, but that the Puente Hills
Landfill fills up by 11:00 a.m., forcing haulers to use other transfer stations which have greatly
increased their fees.
Councilman Taylor asked Richard Fierro, representing Consolidated Disposal, about his
personal trash bill. Mr. Taylor stated that he requested and received an extra automated trash
container in January and has since received three bills, but he is not being charged for the extra
container ($1.50 per month). Mr. Taylor stated that he has notified Consolidated Disposal by
writing on their billing invoices that he ordered the second bin and has not been charged for it. He
then pays the total amount of $33.33 which includes the extra bin. However, $4.50 continues to
be deducted from his bills. Mr. Taylor stated that his son also ordered a second bin and he is not
being charged for his either. Mr. Taylor requested a written response from Consolidated to

explain their record keeping procedures and why they are not being billed.
Richard Fierro, representing Consolidated Disposal, stated that he will conduct an audit to
determine why Councilman Taylor and his son are not being billed.
Councilmember Clark stated that she is also concerned that many people do not recycle
and discussed possible ways to remind residents to use their recycling containers, such as door
hangers, or putting something on the containers, possibly in different languages with pictures, or
placing an article in the City's newsletter.
Mr. Fierro responded that he is working with City staff in an effort to develop such
programs.
