“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
We literally cannot afford these higher prices. On top of that, the haulers don’t even pick up recycling half the time.David Carmona, Woodland Hills..To the editor: Thanks to the Los Angeles Times for its continuing coverage of the crisis created by the city’s new trash collection system.At our nine-unit building, we have experienced the same skipped pickups and delays. In exchange for this reduction in service, our monthly fee for trash service rose from $240.69 to $418.82. That’s an annual $2,138 increase in one fell swoop.How can this be legal, and what can we do about it?Randy Henderson, Valley Village..To the editor: My building’s recycling bins have been overflowing for weeks because of missed pickups. The worst part is that people keep adding to the blue bins even though it is obvious they are maxed out.This has created a potential health problem. I recently told the building manager about this, and he said the problem was occurring at other properties owned by his company too.But I am happy to report to the mayor that, for now at least, I fixed the problem: I just put all of our recyclable waste into the regular trash bin. Problem solved.Gary Askenaizer, Sherman OaksFollow the Opinion section on Twitter @latimesopinion and Facebook... (Los Angeles Times)
