What is #8 about? Bond signatures? I read the odd little staff explanation which basically says 'go figure'. Seems like an opportunity to educate us. The new bank wants an updated signature card. Why? When would a signature be required? Under what specific circumstances? Guess I've grown suspicious. Go figure.

Watch your wallet!! Recology is coming to city council for another rate increase.

Anonymous 8:34 AM Had your coffee yet? Where does it say Recology is coming in for an increase? Not all discussion of trash automatically reflects on Recology and if you put your memory helmet on, there has been no trash increase since Jan 2013 but if there is contination of customers mixing their trash within their recycling and/or compost carts and negating the revenues we receive for these commodities because of contaminated loads (thus causing a charge for disposal as opposed to revenue for recycling)financial shortfalls may occur. People on the different blogs have bragged about doing this so they could subscribe to the smallest can and I quote said "it was our problem to sort it out" but unfortunately they are very shortsighted (or just don't care) because it will be all the rate payers problem of which I and all my employees who live in Pacifica are.

Chris can I ask you why Recology of San Francisco does not require clients to tie up their cardboard? They also allow people to use the bio bags for green waste. Just wondering why there's a difference in policy.

Also what kind of garbage is ending up in the recycling? Maybe we need a refresher?

LMAO. Item #10 uses the word 'trash' as in a Storm Drain Outfall Trash Capture Device. Whatever that is. Maybe we're all just a little sensitive. Shape up that re-cycling.

Chris Porter said...

ROTC brings their compost to a different facility than RSF and our processor does not allow bio bags. Customers are putting everything and anything in the middle of their recycling/compost carts to keep from paying for the appropriate garbage cart. This is causing a loss of recycling income and an increase in disposal fees.

Which is setting us up for another rate increase.

We'll all piss and moan if the cost is passed along to the rate payer, but no company can be expected to absorb a loss for long. It's not a charity.

Chris if certain people are purposely putting garbage in the compost bin it should be easy for the driver to see when he dumps it no? You should know what rout it's on. The old days they used to tag you.

Everyone shouldn't be penalized for a few people cheating. Work to identify these people and charge them extra. There must be suspicions of who it is.

And how about the cardboard tied? Why do we have to do it when other Recology cities don't?

Whoa. I've never tied my cardboard. We just cut it up any cardboard boxes and put the pieces neatly in the recycle bin. Is this wrong? I can take the truth about my cardboard. Experts only, please.
