OK, I have no problem with them using a central location to lump all the trash together into fewer trucks so that it is cheaper for them to dump it, and hopefully, then cheaper for us. I DO have a problem with them combining loads and then taking it to Alabama and paying Alabama for it. It should be dumped at the county landfill and keep that revenue here……unless of course they proved that it was costing us (the county) more money to handle that garbage than ECUA would be paying them to dump it.

Bama54, actually the county wants ECUA to pick up the trash less efficiently so that the county can make more money on tipping fees…tell me that makes sense…

Do I see our Trash bill going up? Why can’t Escambia County/ECUA get their ducks in a row. This county has so much to offer, but it seem to me they can see the forest for the trees. I have seen this county go from picking up trash (and lost money), to letting some other company pick up trash, and now ECUA can’t pick up trash good enough to satisfy the county. With all the problems our county has to address, this is not one of them!!

This is another “waste” of our tax dollars…what do we have to gain? …we either end up paying the county in taxes or ECUA in fees, just pcik who you want the money to go to…but with the county suing ECUA we get to pay a lawyer too! Yipee! Let ECUA collect the garbage more efficiently, and forget paying the lawyers, please…

Somebody step out of the lightning path, the county wants to take over something. I am printing this one just for my own record purposes.
