Our contract with Veolia Waste Disposal will end
April 30 so a request for bids was sent out. Four bids were received and the
winning bid was from Roscoe Disposal. It looks like a pretty good deal.
Residents will be supplied with a 95 gallon container at no cost and the
monthly fee will be $13.00 ($12.00 for those over 65). Details to follow but the
extra bulk pick-ups and other provisions will stay pretty much the same as we
currently have. One really good specification in this contract is a locked in
three year rate. No increases. In this environment that could be important.
I personally have had calls from residents unhappy
with Veolia for varying reasons and hopefully this will resolve many of those
issues. Starting fresh can have hiccups but also can be a positive change in
procedures.
