Thanks for that info. Jack Barnes said they were $2 a bag, perhaps from Public Works.
Yes, I thought it was $10 for 5 bags. I tried to find out where I saw the price listed on the OPA website but gave up after 20 minutes. Most of the bags at Walmart and Home depot are in the .50 cent range. Same size drawstring plastic bags that I buy at BJs are .22 cents each. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: 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. Thanks for that info. Jack Barnes said they were $2 a bag, perhaps from Public Works. I called Republic, and was told that Republic no longer picks up yard waste with the regular trash pick up. You have clearly shown the problem, and Republic is the cause. Here is the actual contract. You, I think, are a lawyer:
Republic headquarters in New Jersey has confirmed - on trash pickup days, customers in Ocean Pines can put our four bags of yard waste - in either paper or plastic bags. As I wrote, OPA needs to insist Republic comply with the contract. The problem is Republic top management knows and understands the terms of the contract but the local Republic people have no idea what is in the contarct and anyone calling the local office is likely to get any number of verisons depending on who happens to answer the phone. Incredibly, Republic upper management has not straightened the local employees out, especially since the Town Hall meeting a few weeks ago. Whaty is happening is ridculous and it is all Republic's fault. I am no lawyer, but the contract signed by Rick Farr seems terrific int erms of protecting OPA members, with the language about yard waste collection, and absolutelu no requirement that Republic customers must use any Republic-supplied can. Credit the good contract, I assume, to a thorough review by OPA counsel Bruce |
