4 15-0360 Subject: Waste Management's Zero-Waste "PushPull" Rates For Multi-Family Buildings
From: Councilmember Kalb And Vice Mayor Kaplan
Recommendation: Receive A Status Report and Recommendations On Efforts And Strategies To Reduce Zero-Waste 'PushPull' Service Costs For Multi-Family Buildings, Including Information Provided By Waste Management Of Alameda County
Please do not allow Waste Management to charge more money for the job they have been paid to do for many years, and often do not do well. I have sent them two emails since they raised the rates in October to explain that my building is on the block between MacArthur BART and a heavily-used bus stop, including two-part buses. If I were to leave my dumpster out on the sidewalk or in the street it would be a liability for me and for them.
They sent someone to measure the distance from my dumpster area to the driveway--this isn't the question at all. I sent them another email to restate the liability issue. So far they have ignored me, and continue to charge for something that I cannot do safely, and they have decided not to do any more...Please stop their greed and non-responsiveness.
Thank you for considering my request.
Yours truly,
