The first contract period had lots of competition, but the next round will have less. Once there is only 2 or 3 bidders for our trash and recycle, you will see those rates raise substanstially. Expect higher prices, more like cable TV rates within the next bidding round or two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37843643.post-85268810686070504062009-11-19T12:18:02.944-05:002009-11-19T12:18:02.944-05:00Sure, everybody's bill has gone down.

Since we started participating my bill has gone down and I don't see as many trucks parading up and down the streets on a daily basis. The drivers have been more then courteous. Do not take this as support for Mr. Dooley, I do feel that the issue could have been handled a better way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
