Let me look at my ECUA bill real quick…$26.04 is my current bill through Escambia’s main provider. So let pose a question what are we coming about? other than Century not receiving the recycling service, cause the price is fair.

“… 533 containers as of July, Century makes $1,588.34 per month…”

$1588.34 ÷ 22 (approximate working days per month) = ~$72.20 per work day
~$72.20 ÷ 8 = $9.02 an hour.

No wonder why Century is messed up on garbage service. They only have enough money to pay one full time employee.

It’s amazing you have these individuals running for office and also those on the city council that you don’t see until they want your vote. Never visit the community to check on the needs or volunteer their time during crisis.

Strange how the consumer price index is 3.4% and social security is 1.3%. Perhaps they need to use the consumer price index when giving social security raises.

There we go, more and more expensive bills during an already tremendously hard time, for struggling families, all whilst receiving the same poor service we’ve always received. A shame.

Why are they in such dire financial straits if they have so much income from so many different sources. Garbage pays, water pays, all the services they have seems to pay them instead of vice versa!
