Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Republic Yard Waste Msg# 1214527

Based on Jack Barnes' report:
I just spoke with Dominick Fulginiti regional manager for Republic Services who has confirmed that the wording in the contract is correct. Republic on "regular trash days" will still pickup 4 bags of lawn debris in plastic or paper bags. Apparently a miscommunication occurred at the local level advising the workers not to pick up plastic in some areas. That is being corrected as I post by Dominick. The 4 special leaf pickups by Republic will require leaves to be in paper bags. You can help, perhaps, by contacting Republic and asking to PLEASE get that word out to the employees on the roads here in Ocean Pines so Republic customers are not hearing different info from those on the trucks. Thanks. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Hi Rick, this issue of Republic Services saying their customers MUST use paper bags for lawn debris needs the OPA vice president's attention. I say this rather than asking Stuart because you signed the contract with Republic when you were president. Maybe you and Stuart can get together and have this resolved. By the way, paper bags purchased cost about $2.00 each. Some lots in OP produce in excess of 100 bags of leaves in a year - $200 or more! The contract says Republic will pick up four "bags" of lawn debris on each garbage collection day. The contract does not define "bag" and does not stipulate "paper bags." Republic drivers are apparently telling customers they MUST use paper bags, and any leaves or lawn debris in black plastic bags will not be picked up. The interesting sidebar to this is the garbage in cans, the lawn debris in paper bags, or lawn debris in black plastic bags all go into the same truck on garbage collection days. Association members need your help. Regards, Joe |
