“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Kansas City area. “It’s about helping people, doing something we love and making a difference,” said Chad Lower, manager. That approach not only delivers successful experiences to sellers, but also leaves a lasting impact. “It’s nice to work with people with hearts and souls who care about my home,” said Denise Canon, a recent House Buyers KC client. “We had talked to other companies before House Buyers KC, but they were all transactional. They don’t have the emotion and heart of House Buyers KC.” House Buyers KCLocation: 6900 College Blvd., #930, Overland Park, Kan. Contact: (913) 777-4444 Web:www.HouseBuyersKC.com...

WCA/Town & Country currently collects garbage from Raymore residents’ curbs, but Jim’s Disposal Service, which is based in Kansas City, Mo., will take over citywide trash pick-up on Jan. 3, 2018.According to Mike Ekey, a spokesman for the city of Raymore, residents also will see an increased monthly charge in January for trash service. Residents, who have been paying $11.91 per month per residence, will see that cost rise to $12.41 per month, a 4.2-percent increase.During the public bidding process, the city awarded Jim’s Disposal Service with the new contract. The city’s current contract with WCA/Town & Country ends Dec. 31.Ekey said the city chose Jim’s Disposal Service because it provided “the lowest and best bid for the level of service” the city was requesting, including unlimited trash and recycling, weekly yard waste pick-up, and free bulky item pick-up days. The city spokesman said Raymore started the bidding process early and also partnered with the city of Belton to take advantage of the two cities’ combined populations in an effort to decrease the price per home.The city of Belton announced in June that it would move to a centralized solid-waste collection program.Beginning in January, Jim’s Disposal Service also will prov...

Researchers have linked earthquakes in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas to wastewater injection.Oklahoma had only a few dozen earthquakes of magnitude-3.0 or greater in 2012 but had more than 900 in 2015. The number dropped to closer to 600 last year after state regulators directed energy companies to close some injection wells or reduce the volume of water they inject.In the Raton Basin of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, earthquakes began to increase in 2001, about two years after large-scale wastewater injection began, the U.S. Geological Service said. The wastewater comes from wells that extract natural gas from underground coal beds.The biggest quake in the basin since 2001 was magnitude-5.3 in 2011. It caused minor damage to buildings in Trinidad, Colorado, about 15 miles from the epicenter.A 2014 paper by the Geological Service blamed injection wells for the area’s quakes. The new University of Colorado study went further, using computer models and records of wastewater injection to conclude that enough pressure built up to cause the quakes.Justin Rubinstein, a geophysicist with the Geological Service who was the lead author of the 2014 paper, said the computer models have been used in other locations but not in the Raton Basin before now.Rubinstein was not involved in the University of Colorado study and said he was not familiar with all its details but that the general conclusions made sense.“It’s consistent with what my research has shown,” he said.The University of Colorado study also found that the Raton Basin earthquakes were more widespread than previously thought, said Nakai, the lead author.Earlier studies focused on the Colorado portion of the basin because that was the site of a 2001 swarm of 12 quakes — the strongest was magnitude-4.6 — as well as the 5.3 quake in 2011.But seismometers recorded 1,881 quakes in the a...
