Legislature. The Board Members were and still are elected by the voters of Escambia County. I think the main reason for it's formation was getting the debt of the old stinky Main Street treatment plant (which was brand new at the time) off the shoulders of the City of Pensacola and on the shoulders of Escambia County at large. If they can provide enhanced services in the North end of Santa Rosa because there is competition, why don't we do away with franchises, and let the free market dictate the price and level of service for garbage pick up in both counties?

Escambia County's Perdido Landfill charges $45.06/ton while the cost of tipping at the Santa Rosa Landfill is $32.00/ton. I hope this helps to clarify why there is a small difference in the rates.

They have this price and this specific service so they can compete with the 3 other garbage services. If they were to charge this price for once a week pick up, they wont survive out here on the north end. They want more business, so they expand.

Twice a week pick up, plus recycling, and we only get once a week. What's up with that Dr. Walker?

They also have to drive further to North Santa Rosa. I'm a little confused. This is the same ECUA I have and we pay more and only get service once a week here in eacambia county.
