BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The City of Killeen's municipal solid waste systems, both residential and commercial, are container dependent. Citizens are issued a rollout container(s) that best fits the disposal needs of the household. Citizens have the choice of a 32, 64, or 96-gallon container and pay a monthly disposal fee based on the size and quantity of the containers selected. Commercial businesses are issued containers of various types and sizes depending on their need, and pay fees established by Division 6, Chapter 24 of the City of Killeen Code of Ordinances.
Solid Waste is required to have an inventory of containers in stock to accommodate the normal growth of the city and replace lost or damaged containers for both, residential and commercial customers. On September 13, 2022, Council approved the budget for FY 23, which included a container replacement program for residential and commercial customers. This replacement program will afford Solid Waste the ability to replace an additional 2500 damaged residential and an additional 16 damaged commercial containers throughout the city. The funds are allocated within the solid waste budget Replacement Carts/Dumpster line item for each section.
