For those who are still on the fence about moving from Waste Management I wanted to summarize the most recent offers from Arrowaste and EverKept.

 

Arrowaste sent this update on Friday Dec. 3:

Thanks for the information.  Just to clarify our recycle program.  We are going to offer all residents of Georgetown Shores a 96gal recycle cart included in the original prices we quoted.  If they do not wish to use a 96gal cart for recycling they can still choose whatever container they want.  I know you signed up for recycling I would like to get you a cart, I will have it delivered today or tomorrow.  Also we will offer the rate of $7.00 per month if they for the year in advance or if they pay quarterly. 

 

Just to clarify;

96gal cart for Trash          $7.00/mo

96gal cart for Recycle        $2.00/mo

96gal cart for YW             $7.00/mo  (just billed for 8 months $56 for the season)

No Fee’s, price is all inclusive.

 

Thanks and have a great day,

Letter from EverKept on Sat. Dec. 4:

 

I understand this is an undesirable situation for you.  It wasn’t our intention to cause you so much grief.  These circumstances were unforeseen by you, and certainly offer up unique circumstances.  We felt that delivering the carts would give a tangible understanding of what EverKept is offering- specifically the 96 gallon recycling cart.  We are very passionate about what we do, we are excited about the impact it makes on the environment and the local economy.

 

Understanding this was disagreeable, and completely out of your control, it presents an opportunity to understand our services.  Left with this situation, and the new realization of how many families EverKept already serves has changed things.  Certainly in regards to Arrowaste and your previous arrangement.  Looking back at the advisory boards original intent of providing better pricing and one hauler the current circumstances serve those intentions. 

 

As of current, many families have already started up service and some have called to have their carts removed, or removed until this is sorted out.  We have our delivery drivers promptly serving multiple times per day in this effort.  We understand  this puts the board in an unpleasant situation of recommending what is best for the residents, in light of your previous arrangements.

 

Please find the attached copy of our recycle cart guidelines and a copy of the recycle schedule. Feel free to share them with the residents.  The attached information is recycle and redrecyclecalender.

Sincerely,

Chad Stoub

Owner and Founder
