Trash Savings Estimate 2014

hahahaahaha

Correct me if I am wrong. Did I read somewhere that we are paying one price per ton for household trash and a conciderably lower price for recycleables. I just witnessed my recyclables going in the same compartment on the same truck as my household trash. Do we have someone monitoring this?

Tom,

I know at least 1 of Duffy's trucks is a split truck with room for Trash and Recycle waste..... Not saying that they didn't do what you say they did, but maybe that is what you saw?

They are split trucks and I am sure they are not being merged.

Someone correct me if I am wrong. I saw my trash bags go into the compartment to the left looking at the passenger side of the truck. Then I saw my card board go in the exact same compartment. I saw 2 compartments on the truck all of my trash and cardboard went into one. I am not saying anything negative about the new vendor. I am just stating what I saw. One question that may make me wrong about all this. Is cardboard a recyclable?

Last week my recycles were gone 1st late in the day,  trash not until the next day; today I saw 1 truck pick up all of it at the same time & it looked to me it all went together.  Yes Tom,  you can recycle cardboard.

Tom, I found out that the side loader has one opening but two Shoots, so it looks like they are going into the same place but they are actually going into separate shoots in the Side loader garbage versus recycling.

I just want to say that I am very pleased that we have local representatives who are motivated enough look at issues like this and not just continue doing business the same ole way.  They went out and did the best research possible, took their findings and made what looks like a cost saving decision.  I have been fortunate enough to have no change in the level of my service, everything is picked up when Duffy says it will and they have taken everything I have placed out.  Eveyone needs to be patient and remeber, They are collecting the trash for the 5th time this coming week.  As long as Duffy continues to improve and continues to address issues I am certain this issue will die and we will end up with a service equal to or better than the service that Casella was providing and at a reduced cost.
