The Houston company, which is the largest trash company in North America, is suing to block the landfill switch and force the city — and Recology — to keep hauling its garbage to Alameda County.<br /><br />There’s plenty of money at stake, with the dumping contract worth an estimated $130 million. The city currently pays about $7.7 million a year to send its trash to Altamont, a cost that was scheduled to rise substantially, regardless of who won the new contract.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-48247272431139087902015-08-02T10:01:58.540-07:002015-08-02T10:01:58.540-07:00649, your internet link led to a closed S.F.

Chronicle article, "S.F. garbage-dumping contract ignites legal fight", John Wildermuth, 7/31/15-- and the photograph does look like sorting by a racoon.<br /><br />Otherwise, if Pacifica has the "highest garbage rates in San Mateo County", there could be a correlation between also having the weakest city economy (low commercial); plus the hills, spread-out community sections, and beach trash.<br /><br />Memo to neighbors: No plastic bags in the green or blue cart, and no walking your dog dodo there either.Kathy Meehnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-38413846815854088152015-08-02T06:49:51.610-07:002015-08-02T06:49:51.610-07:00We do 90% of Recology's sorting work going th...We do 90% of Recology's sorting work going through the garbage like Racoons, and we still have the highest garbage rates in San Mateo County.<br /><br /><br />http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/S-F-garbage-dumping-contract-ignites-legal-fight-6418592.php?cmpid=gsa-sfgate-resultnot a fan of recologynoreply@blogger.com
