On the front page of Saturday's News Tribune was more on the garbage issue. The article which I can no longer access (the entire article that is) quotes one individual who now pays for her garbage.
I went to the News Tribune and have the quote that is missing from the online issue:
"Pat Richardson now pays for her own service said 'It's something I have gotten used to, like any other bill. I think I have been recycling more since the switch...They [Allied Waste] have been very helpful."
Before Allied Waste, her landlord paid for garbage service. She pays for the service herself now--an additional fee for living as a renter in Jefferson City.
This just shows me how quickly we become complacent.
I wonder if the changes are actually in writing in her lease.
The article I was able to access demonstrates again the weakness of the Allied Waste contract as opposed to garbage collection in similar towns. These towns have a much better system for collecting garbage--they even collect tree limbs, leaves and glass.
If the online version of Rose Ruiz's article for the News Tribune was trying to show how good our program is, they should have left the quotes in--which I have placed above--from the Jeff City resident.
