## Double Garbage Collection Petition
- Date captured: 2026-07-06
- Goal: organize with neighbors to petition to be placed on the tax roll for garbage service, so the neighborhood can get double garbage collection.
- Context phrase: "petition to be on tax roll for garbage."
- Contact: Karisa, phone 772-462-1768.
- Suggested next steps:
  - Call/text Karisa to confirm the exact county/tax-roll petition process and required wording.
  - Draft a one-page neighbor petition with name, address, phone/email, signature, and consent language.
  - Identify affected neighbors and coordinate canvassing / WhatsApp outreach.
  - Track signers and submission deadline/details once Karisa confirms them.

## Online Research - How to Proceed
- Date researched: 2026-07-06
- St. Lucie County has an MSBU Program page: `https://www.stlucieco.gov/departments-and-services/public-works/engineering-division/msbu-program`.
  - Search result snippet: a Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU) is a legal financing mechanism where local government establishes a discrete area to provide and fund essential services/improvements through special assessments / non-ad valorem assessments against real property.
  - The snippet specifically lists solid waste collection as an eligible MSBU-type service.
- St. Lucie County Solid Waste Division page: `https://www.stlucieco.gov/departments-and-services/solid-waste`.
- St. Lucie County Waste Pro customer service page: `https://www.stlucieco.gov/departments-and-services/solid-waste/waste-pro-customer-service`.
  - Search result snippet says garbage cans/bags must weigh less than 50 lbs.
- St. Lucie County Waste Fees page: `https://www.stlucieco.gov/departments-and-services/solid-waste/waste-fees`.
  - Search result snippet says rates effective February 1, 2025.
- Municode St. Lucie County Code, Chapter 38 - Solid Waste: `https://library.municode.com/fl/st._lucie_county/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=CO_CH38SOWA`.
- Research conclusion: for double garbage collection funded through the tax roll, organize it as an MSBU / non-ad valorem assessment request, not just a general complaint petition.
- Recommended action sequence:
  1. Contact Karisa at 772-462-1768 and ask for the official MSBU petition/application packet, signature threshold, parcel boundary map requirements, rate estimate, and submission deadline for the next tax roll.
  2. Define the proposed assessment area by parcel/street boundaries before collecting signatures.
  3. Draft petition language requesting inclusion of the defined neighborhood in a solid-waste collection MSBU/non-ad valorem assessment for twice-weekly residential garbage collection.
  4. Collect signatures from property owners, not only renters, unless Karisa confirms occupant signatures count.
  5. Capture each signer’s printed name, property address, parcel ID if available, phone/email, signature, and date.
  6. Submit the package to the county MSBU / Public Works contact and ask for written confirmation of receipt and the next Board/public hearing/tax-roll deadline.
- Important unknowns to confirm with Karisa: required percentage or number of property-owner signatures, exact petition wording, whether the county requires a county-provided form, whether renters can sign, and whether service can be upgraded for only a subset of streets.
