Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Republic Yard Waste Msg# 1214578
|
||||||
First. I just purchased yard waste bags at Home Depot. They were priced at 5 bags for $2.50. I picked up 4 packs, but was only charged $9.00, not $10.00. I inquired and the clerk said I got a discount for a bulk buy. Whatever, I'll take it. Bottom line? Buy four 5-packs at Home Depot and pay $9.00. This is a far cry from $2.00 a bag.
Second. Republic did not pick up my 4 bags of yard waste last week. Rather, they dumped my large trash can into the truck, then proceeded to dump my 4 yard waste bags into my large trash can, and left. I called Republic, and was told that Republic no longer will pick up yard waste with the regular trash pick up. Instead, they will have 6 special "Yard Event" dates coming up soon. 3 in November and 3 in December, where they will pick up yard bags. But I was told that they would come back and empty my trash can, now filled with pine needles and leaves. A few hours later this was accomplished. Just to make sure, I called again the next day, and was told the same thing by another phone operator. No longer will Republic pick up 4 yard bags with the regular collection. So next time down to the Pines (I am not full time) I guess I will load my truck up and head to the dump. I suppose time will tell whether Republic will pick up my yard bags on regular pick days, as has been reported in this forum. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: They have not done the whole neighborhood not just our cul de Seems strange. Not collecting for two collection days in a row should certainly spark a call to Republic by someone in your "neighborhood," however broad an area that encompasses. |
