Maybe I’m missing something…but how does the City responsibly enter into a seven-year contract with a multi-national corporation when we have no idea what the cost will be to residential customers?
And what is the cost to taxpayers of the City hiring 18 staff – including drivers – to take over 10 percent of the hauling, all billing, collections and customer service?
I voted against the original organized trash hauling contract in 2017, for a variety of reasons that included the prohibition of cart sharing and opting out. That said, our eyes were wide open about the cost of the program for residents.
