The City of Kissimmee on October 24, 2011 will start curbside recycling |
City Delivers Recycling Containers
KISSIMMEE, Fla. (October 5, 2011)—The City of Kissimmee Public Works Sanitation Division is in the process of delivering the 96-gallon blue recycling containers to residents. The actual recycling collection service will begin the week of October 24.
It is expected to take approximately two weeks before each household receives a container. Residents might notice the containers in the street, initially, but the City has contracted with a company that will have one crew drop off the containers followed by a second crew that will move them to the curbside.
Each container includes an informational brochure and an illustration attached to the lid, explaining the types of items that can and cannot be placed in the blue container.
All recyclable items must be rinsed; caps must be removed; and cardboard boxes must be flattened.
Acceptable Recyclable Materials:
Aluminum Cans
Tin Foil and Aluminum Pie Pans
Plastic Bottles/Containers #1 - #7
Cereal Boxes
Paper Towel Rolls
Paperback Books and Phone Books
Junk Mail
Cardboard (flatten all boxes)
Magazines and Catalogs
Newspapers and Inserts
Office Paper and File Folders (without wax liners)
Paper Bags
Non-Acceptable Recyclable Materials:
Garbage
Styrofoam
Electronics
Hardback Books
Ceramics or Dishes
Food Waste
Plastic Grocery Bags or Wrap
Motor Oil Containers
Household Hazardous Waste
Light Bulbs, Window Glass or Mirrors
Yard Waste
The BLUE recycling carts will not be collected if they contain Garbage or Yard Waste.
In order to operate in an efficient manner with the most convenience to residents the following changes have been made to the Garbage/Recycling collection schedules:
• If garbage collection days were on Tuesday and Friday:
Garbage collection will take place on Tuesday only and Recycling will be collected on Friday only.
• Yard Waste and Bulk Trash collection days will remain the same.
The benefits of recycling include the following:
• A recycling program will cost less to operate as compared to waste collection, landfills and incineration
• The energy saved when recycling one glass bottle is enough to power a light bulb for four hours
• Each ton of paper that is recycled, saves 17 trees
• Recycling benefits the air and water by creating a net reduction in 10 major categories of air pollutants and eight major categories of water pollutants
• Recycling helps to save energy and reduces reliance on foreign oil
• Recycling conserves natural resources, such as timber, water and minerals
• Recycling prevents habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, and soil erosion associated with logging and mining
This program is not mandatory; however the goal is for each household to participate in curbside recycling. This will assist the City in reaching the 75% Recycling Goal by 2020, which was set by the State of Florida.
Drop-off recycling centers will continue to be available, until further notice.
For more information about the Curbside Recycling Program, please contact the Public Works - Sanitation Division at 407.518.2507.
City to Install Red Light Cameras
KISSIMMEE, Fla. (October 3, 2011)—The City of Kissimmee is implementing Red Light Cameras to address the public safety issue of red light runners.
Within the next few months, cameras will be mounted at 10 intersections considered to either have a high traffic volume or where there has been repeat activity for red light violators.
Drivers are reminded that the green light means Proceed with Caution; yellow means Prepare to Stop; and the red light means STOP.
If drivers fail to stop before the traffic signal turns red, the cameras will capture their vehicle running through the intersection. This will result in a penalty in the amount of $158, if paid within 30 days of the violation. Afterwards, a uniform traffic citation will be issued and the amount will increase, along with four points being accessed on the driver’s license, if convicted.
Tickets will also be issued if a driver makes a right turn on red—before failing to come to a complete stop and if pedestrians are present.
Warnings will be issued during the first 30 days of the cameras being installed at each intersection.
The owner of the vehicle will receive a violation letter, which will include a link to the Web site, which shows a copy of the violation and also explains the appeal process.
The violation is issued to the registered owner of the vehicle and he/she is responsible for payment, unless the owner can establish one of the following four allowable exemptions:
1. The motor vehicle passed through the intersection in order to yield right-of-way to an emergency vehicle or as part of a funeral procession;
2. The motor vehicle passed through the intersection at the direction of a law enforcement officer;
3. The motor vehicle was, at the time of the violation, in the care, custody, or control of another person; or
4. A uniform traffic citation was issued by a law enforcement officer to the driver of the motor vehicle for the alleged violation of s. 316.074(1) or s. 316.075(1)(c)1.
The following intersections are being surveyed to assist the City with determining the 10 locations where the cameras will ultimately be mounted:
1. Michigan and Osceola Parkway – No Right Turn on Red
2. Vine Street and John Young Parkway
3. Vine Street and Thacker Avenue
4. Vine Street and Armstrong Boulevard
5. Vine Street and Main Street
6. Vine Street and Michigan Avenue
7. Vine Street and Hoagland Boulevard
8. Neptune and Broadway
9. John Young Parkway and Emmett Street
10. John Young Parkway and Donegan Avenue
11. Main and Columbia Avenue
12. Vine Street and Orange Avenue
13. Vine Street and Dyer Boulevard
14. Vine Street and Bass Road
15. John Young Parkway and Columbia Avenue
16. John Young Parkway and Patrick Street
17. Osceola Parkway and Dyer Boulevard
18. Central Avenue and Oak Street
19. John Young Parkway and Oak Street
20. Main Street and Oak Street
One in three Americans claim they personally know someone who has been injured or killed in a red light running crash.
