New Blue Bag Program Inefficient And Too Costly?
09/07/2009 05:32
Yesterday was pickup
day for garbage in my
neighbourhood.
I put out my one
black bag a month. That's all I ever have.
Properly tagged.
The truck went to
houses on either side of me and picked up many
black bags, including piles of newspapers not
in a bag, but left my one bag.
I had to call in and
ask them to come back. Cost and time
efficiency?
Cost to me: $11.55 per month for PAYT, (1 bag every 2 weeks), plus the new blue bag fee, I think $5.50 That is what it costs to put one bag at the curb a month, and hope it gets picked up. Still waiting.
Oh yes, two big trucks had to make the rounds, one for blue and one for black bags. Great for air quality and impact on our crumbling roads!

So there you have it folks, a brilliant move to cause retirees yet more expense for poor service with no way to opt out. Sometimes all one can do is shake your head.
