Rocky River is odd, because I think there program is still on the books as being paid for out of the cities general fund they don&#039;t have some goofy garbage bill that they give the citizens in the mail, however they have a goofy sewer bill that they give the citizens in the mail that mine as well be called the garbage collection bill. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhow, the waste collection calendar and the rules and regulations I was reading them, and basically, there is a 500lbs elephant in the room that nobody is addressing and that is that the recycling market basically flat-lined this year and whats happened was I guess, recycling has pretty much become cost prohibitive. It is killing everyone, not just your typical municipal operation, but the big guys to I know Republic Services (formerly BFI) has had ads on the radio saying please if you live in a municipality that uses Republic Services please dump your clean raw recyclables in your 65 gallon container please do not bag anything. What that is telling me is Republic is running into trouble at the recycling plant and the balance sheet isn&#039;t looking very good. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]314713[/ATTACH] </p><p><i>City of Rocky River Leach Alpha 20 Yard Collection Truck June 2019 on a Saturday Collection Route. </i></p><p><br /></p><p>City of Rocky River is telling people please blue bag recyclables, and I would do what ever your local waste authority says, every place is different and does things differently. They have arrangements made with whoever just do what they say the best you can. </p><p><br /></p><p>The city says landfill costs and other associated costs year over year are rising. I know The City of Medina, Ohio for a long time didn&#039;t have residential yard waste collection which seems kind of odd to me and finally a couple years ago they started collecting yard waste. </p><p><img src="http://media.cleveland.com/medina/photo/22764592-mmmain.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>City of Medina Yard Waste Courtesy Cleveland.com</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess it was a lot cheaper to take yard waste to the county shredder then the landfill. I thought that dumping yard waste in the landfill was against the law, I know in Florida it is a law that yard waste must be collected separately. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhow City says costs are going up and we all must tighten our belts now, to help keep costs down. The big problem I think is, is recycling has become a real boon doggle. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhow Saturday I think I should be able to get some good pictures of Rocky Rivers equipment which is good I need some new pictures for my posts lol![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
