Dear Editor:
It will be your right to vote for Proposition A in April, but if you do, you must be prepared to face the following consequences:
- Higher trash service rates: Without a contract, Allied Waste is free to charge on the open market. For a good index of those figures, look to our county residents who pay as much as $10 more per month for trash service.
- Possible legal action against the city for breach of contract: By cancelling our contract before the specified time, Allied Waste has the right to bring suit against the city and recoup hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost income.
- No curbside recycling service: Allied Waste will not be contractually obligated to provide this service.
- A return to illegal dumping: Since the initiation of the current trash and recycling service, over 2,000,000 pounds of "missing garbage" has been collected. A return to voluntary trash disposal will again fill up our commercial dumpsters and our landscapes with illegal dumping.
Don't throw a good thing away. Vote "No" on Proposition A on April 5.
