Is anyone else being told by ECUA on the phone that they won’t have their recycling can for 4 to 5 weeks AFTER this ECUA take-over occurs? We were told that if we have more garbage than 1 can once a week we have to dispose of it ourselves. They won’t take plastic bags beside the can. Anyone else hearing this too?

Umm… did anyone else notice the the “reduction from $19.62 charged by Allied Waste” is payment for exactly 1/2 the service? Sure wish I could use the same formula to pay my property taxes…..

For those who did not catch it, we get TWO 90 gallon pick ups with Allied, where we will get ONE pick up with ECUA…..

Well Analee, I have my facts straight…you can choose between a 40, 60 or 90 gallon can. Most of the allied cans are 90 gallons. So, choose the 90 gallon size and it’s the same.

no it’s not the “same service” the recycle can is much smaller than a regular can so lulu get you facts straight 1 and 1/2 cans is not the same as 2 cans and the price is still bugging me i think i’m with susan on boycott if we start smelling bad enough they will do what’s right

My husband finally got his call through to ECUA to order a recycling bin and was told we wouldn’t receive it until the end of January or first week of February! Great service-charge me for 4-5 weeks for something I’m not getting! Not a very good first impression ECUA………….

The outcome of this program ought to be real interesting…cannot wait…NOT!

Our side roadways already look like crap on the northend, with garbage everywhere from low-life people that insist on littering. Hope that doesn’t get worse now!

And lets hope that the ECUA garbage trucks remember to close their bin-holes, so that garbage doesn’t do like it has been doing with Allied Waste trucks, flying out and littering our roadways even more than what people are doing.

By the time they get to the dump, their loads are much little lighter!

Garbage and Litter is a sore subject for our family!

I think Larry Walker did this so he could say he did something. Change we have to live with or something like that.

Well, we have twins in diapers in our household and you can’t recycle diapers. Can you imagine the amount of garbage that entails and the smell if it only gets picked up once a week? This deal reeks already to me!

I don’t have time to seperate my garbage, I have children and a job. I also don’t go out to the garbage can unless I have a full bag inside, then I take it outside, I also don’t have room in my house for an extra can to put my recycle garbage in. I don’t like the once a week garbage pickup, I have a baby in diapers and with the twice a week pickup our garbage can is always full.
