You said it L.A.Stevens! Just be patient ya’ll. I feel confident that ECUA will be good to deal with once things get settled.

Has it occurred to anyone that if you’d just go ahead and start sorting your recyclables from your regular garbage, you could just put the recyclables in a trash bag in the garage or by the fence or whatever, until you get a recycling can? If you’d sort your trash, just like you claim you’re going to do when you get your can, it’s not a problem to store the recyclable items for a few weeks. They won’t stink or anything. What is the problem? Sounds like there are a few squeeky wheels who are looking for any excuse they can find to ask for free service and generally complain. I think the vast majority of the people are happy with the program and understand the complications ECUA is facing. This is a monumental undertaking in an extremely short amount of time. Look at how long and intensive the stupid “digital TV” upgrade has been drug out. Any big change takes time to implement, perhaps ECUA gave people too much credit for being able to get on board too quickly and accept change without so much griping.

I wish they’d hire me to help answer their phones part time. There are no openings though. I lost my job and I’ d be so happy to have another I’d even be glad to talk to all the people who are upset.

We were not ripped off. ECUA is taking over our trash service on short notice. It takes time to get everything running smooth. You should be happy that recycling is offered to you. This way you can help the environment. Unless you don’t care about the environment that you live in.

problaby overwhelmed with people wanting a recycling can. I called and asked for a refund. I am suppose to have a recylling can, so they missed half of my service yesterday. $17.99 a month divided by four weeks divided by two (trash + recycle) = $2.25. It ain’t much, but if we all ask for it, they will lose the money and notice the north end. larry walker ripped us off like we are some stupid country folks.
