On Monday, December 7th, the Town of Wickenburg will consider amending Ordinance No. 1059 to require payment for garbage and refuse collection in Wickenburg for both occupied and non-occupied residences and businesses. WeMAR is concerned that the ordinance could lead to any of the following:
•· In order to get other city utilities turned on (water and sewer), REALTORS® could be required to pay for trash services on vacant foreclosed properties because the bank or owners cannot be contacted.
•· Landlords could be required to pay for trash services between tenants even though trash is not being produced.
•· Citizens who move out of Wickenburg but cannot sell their homes before they move, could be responsible for trash service while their vacant home is on the market and not producing trash.
Therefore, Amanda Wright from Mario E Diaz & Associates will be attending the Town Council Work meeting on December 7th at 5:30 PM to voice our opposition. We encourage you to at attend with her. Please contact her at 602-224-0210 if you plan to attend.
