Minutes: Single-Hauler Follow-Up Survey Results
Joy Hinz, Environmental and Sustainability Programs Manager, presented the results of
the 2023 Township Waste Hauling Survey. The eight-question survey was sent out in
August to unincorporated households in six townships that are not currently served by a
township waste and recycling contract. Typical voluntary survey response rates are 2%
while this survey received a 10% response rate. Varying by township, Milton had the
highest response rate and Addison had the lowest. A pleasant surprise from the survey
revealed a high interest in lower greenhouse gas emissions associated with providing
hauling services. Saving money received the most support when answering survey
questions but varied by township. Given the information that was gathered, it was
recommended to have each township pursue a referendum. Member Cahill, Member
Garcia, Member Yeena Yoo and Nick Kottmeyer, Director/Public Works and Operations,
discussed further with clarifications and explanations about the referendum.
