[Grovenet] Plastic recycling news

No. This was my residence, not the office pickup.

Were you paying business rates? I don't know if 
there is such a thing. Hadn't heard of it.

  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...

    Something not right here. We're paying 
$19.00/mo
    for WM!

      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 . . .

      : )  Geri
