CL1The Grand Jury concludes that the City of Palo Alto is offering a good refuse collection and recycling service to its residents and commercial establishments. The service it offers under exclusive arrangement with PASCO is appropriately managed with strong and regular oversight on the part of city staff responsible for the city's waste management programs. This program is in line with similar programs provided by neighboring cities, both as to service and rates charged. However, since the city has chosen to offer this service as a regulated monopoly, the Grand Jury believes improvement is possible. The Grand Jury further concludes that the same can be said for those other cities mentioned in the report that have exclusive debris box contracts and suggests those cities may wish to take this information under advisement.
