[Grovenet] Plastic recycling news

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

You are right Ed. Double checked and they billed me $62 every two months,
but I still paid a lot more than you: $31.50/month. You're paying pretty
close to what we're paying here on the coast. 

I recall a couple of years ago asking them about it and they explained that
I was getting the minimum basic service. That's all we had ever used. 

That IS odd...

    It begs the question; why doesn't WM just take
  all plastics since the
    options are recycle or landfill, both of which
  WM handles?

    Here in the Newport area that's how our local
  waste handlers do it. The
    general rule is that if it isn't something 
that
  will start to smell in two
    days, put it in the recycle bin.

    And, interestingly, they provide us with that
  "extended" service for all
    potential recyclables with the same weekly 
sort
  of curbside service you get,
    but our service costs a total of $17.40 a 
month
  compared to WM's bill of
    $62/month!

    To be fair, our local service (Thompson's
  Sanitary Service) does not offer
    extra containers for yard debris at that 
price.
  One either fits whatever
    they want hauled into the "garbage" bin headed
  for the landfill or has an
    extra pickup arranged. Of course, around here
  most of that stuff is chipped,
    mulched or composted and the remainder burned.
  But $44/month for a yard
    waste bin? That's sounds a bit "over the top"!

    Katie, thanks much for passing on this info.
  We've been
    happy with the improvements and additional 
items
  WM
    has been taking for recycling, but there is
  always the
    rest of those things we don't want to go
  straight into a
    land fill . . .
