Automated Residential Trash Collection

Show All Answers

1. What is automated trash collection?

Fully automated trash collection features a one-person crew using a special collection truck with a lifting device mounted on the side which will reach out to grasp, lift, and dump (in about 10 seconds) specialized trash containers which will be provided by the City. All lifting is accomplished by mechanical means. Employees no longer have to lift heavy, cumbersome objects or loads.

2. Will automated trash collection be an improvement?

The containers are sturdy, with a secure lid that will keep animals out of your trash, and trash out of your yards. The lid also discourages flies and other bugs, while helping to reduce odor. The container is made from polyethylene and will not react with most household materials. The smooth interior is very durable and easily cleaned with a rinse of the hose. The system will be more efficient, quieter, and cleaner.

The homeowner will no longer have to haul heavy metal trash cans or garbage bags to the curb or alley; just one easy rolling container that holds a week's worth of trash.

3. What will automated trash collection cost?

The monthly bill for residential trash collection will not change unless you need more than one specialized container. The first special automated trash collection container will be provided by the City at a cost of $18.10 per month. An additional container may be requested at a cost of $13.86 per month (per additional container).

Geographic Information Systems

Show All Answers

1. What is a Geographic Information System (GIS)?

A GIS stores all the features you might find on a map such as roads, buildings, utilities, and park locations. Similar features are categorized into layers. These layers can then be stacked on top of each other to form a map that can be displayed and printed. A GIS also stores information about each feature in a database such as road surface material, park name, parcel number, and owner name. The graphic elements and database are connected, providing a powerful analysis tool for features represented on the map. Learn more at the GIS website.

2. What does it cost to obtain a hard copy of a map?

For standard published maps the prices are as follows:

• A-size (8.5" x 11") - $3


• B-size (11" x 17") - $5


• C-size (17" x 22") - $10


• D-size (22" x 34", 24" x 36") - $15


• E-size (34" x 44", 36" x 48") - $20

Non-standard, custom map production will be billed at cost of time and materials.

1. Do I need to separate my recycling from the regular garbage?

Yes, we are asking the public to separate their materials before they reach the recycling drop-off station. This will ensure clean recycled material; the cleaner it is, the less money spent. Bin space is important for transporting (the more you have the less the cost).

2. It seems like we're always plowed last. Why can't we be first sometimes?

That's a good question. Our drivers tend to begin and end in the same places. We try to reverse the order if conditions permit.

3. Street light out in your neighborhood?

Please report it to Rocky Mountain Power at 888-221-7070.

4. How can one person make a difference?

If we combine all our individual efforts together we can make a difference. To look at it another way, each of us contributes individually to the waste problem. All the millions of tons of waste that currently go into landfills can be greatly reduced.

Teen Court

Show All Answers

1. How does Teen Court work?

Teenagers who appear before the Municipal Court Judge may request Teen Court as an alternative if they are willing to plead guilty to their offense, and if they and their parents agree to abide by the Teen Court guidelines. Those who complete the punishment phase will have the offense removed from their record and will avoid the larger fines of the adult court system. Those who do not complete their punishment phase must return to the adult court system for assessment of punishment.

Punishment is usually a designated number of hours on work restitution, a term on Teen Court jury duty, counseling, essays, fines, and in some cases special educational courses. No jail time can be imposed.

There is a participation fee of $10 which must be paid at the time of registration for Teen Court. This fee is non-refundable.

2. How are cases referred to Teen Court?

At the time a youth under 18 years of age appears in Municipal Court for initial appearance or entry of plea, the offender and his or her parent or guardian must request sentencing by the Teen Court jury. The presiding Judge will then enter the offender's guilty plea of record, provided there are sufficient facts to support the plea. The case will then be assigned to the Teen Court. The offender must plead guilty to the offense with which he or she has been charged before the case will be transferred to Teen Court.

3. Who serves on the Teen Court jury?

The jury will be a group of teenagers who have volunteered for service or who are completing jury duty as a part of their sentence.

The teen jury is not allowed to discuss any aspect of a case with the defendants prior to the actual sentencing in Teen Court. Improper communication can result in the case being transferred back to adult court.

A jury foreperson leads the jury deliberations, ensures participation of all jurors, mediates disputes among jurors, calls for vote during deliberations, and delivers the verdict to the bailiff.

The jury foreperson is elected from the jury panel after the defendant has explained his or her case and when the jury retires to the jury room to deliberate.

4. Is there a dress code for Teen Court?

The courtroom is a formal and serious place, commanding respect from all who participate in the proceedings. The following rules are to be observed:

• No caps or hats
• No tank tops, midriffs, or halter tops
• No T-shirts or clothing with obscene or profane language or illustrations
• No torn clothing
• No shorts
• No sunglasses
• No gang related clothing

Teen Court also prohibits the use of gum or tobacco products, eating, drinking, or the use of obscene or profane language or signs. The impression a defendant makes on a jury is important. A good attitude and positive appearance will leave a positive impression.

Teen Court reserves the right to refuse to hear a case from those persons who fail to abide by the outlined dress code. Jurors are held to the same standards as defendants.

5. Who do I contact to volunteer for Teen Court?

Please call the Municipal Court office at (307)872-0550 between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.

Teen Court is held on a weekday afternoon at 4:00 pm at the Green River City Hall, Green River, Wyoming, in the Municipal Court or City Council Chambers.
