LEDC and BizRecycling met with some ESABA businesses to talk about trash hauling. Here's what we heard:
  • Businesses get different prices for the same service
  • Service can be inconsistent and fees change without notice
  • We need businesses to join together and make a collective bid for good, consistent, low-cost service from trash haulers

If you're a business owner interested in seeing what kind of bids we could get together, send ESABA a copy of your monthly invoice and/or your hauling contract. We are creating a bid for better service.
