“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Those living in the mandatory pick-up area of Spring Hill would have their bills transferred eventually from their utility bill to their property tax bill.Carts for the automated system would be provided by and maintained by Republic Services. The price now set for non-mandatory areas, which currently ranges from $9.21 to $10.47 per month, would increase to $13.49. In the mandatory pickup area in Spring Hill, the cost would go from $8.18 per month to $13.27 - an increase of $61.08 per year.Billing increases under the new contract would be tied to an industry-specific cost rating rather than the consumer price index which has been used in the past. Republic serves 59,000 customers in Hernando County.Weightman said rural areas would be served by a different kind of truck manned by two people. One would retrieve cans and push them into a bracket that would dump them. Then the worker would place the can back where it was.Republic also brought along examples of the 95-pound and 65-pound trash bins that will be available. Some customers took the opportunity to check them out by pushing them up and down the incline in the commission chambers during a break in the meeting.Contact Barbara Behrendt at bbehrendt@tampabay.com or (352) 848-1434.
