They didn’t build that!
Friend of mine raised a few hogs and picked up 5 fifty-five gallon drums of leftovers every day.
****
That would not work in Calforkyou because the only pigs & hogs are on the dole and/or politicians!
Other cities around the country are trying to “out stupid” California cities but they are up against the ultimate pros and will never win!!!!
Follow the money. I will bet anything Waste Management is a political donor to Oakland's city "leaders" who jacked up the rates. It always always always goes back to that.
This happens when one keeps electing leftists
They got their kickbacks?
I am going to go out on the limb and say that the trash contractor, “Waste Management”, has some friends on the city council.
“Cost factors
“Sean Maher, spokesman for Oakland’s Zero Waste program, a city program created to increase compost and recycling efforts in Oakland, said the major factors driving up garbage bills are union labor, new fleets of natural-gas powered trucks, and a requirement that Waste Management serve any Oakland business that requests service.
“Next year, a new county ordinance will take effect requiring all businesses to compost, he said. ‘The city had to find a way to guarantee they all had access to that service.’”
Waste Management, like any business, only gets its money from one place, its customers. Composting cost money just like the idiotic “recycling bins” now imposed on most city dwellers. So WM is charging more. One city person stated, earlier in the article, that she didnt realize their would be seperate charges. In other words WM was supposed to bury the added costs of composting.
