CONCERNING SANTEK WASTE:
So we get a letter from our "new" garbage company SANTEK. The letter is dated December 1 but doesn't arrive until December 24th. Here is what it says:
"Dear Valued Customer, Last month, as part of the President's Climate Action Plan, the US Environmental Protection Agency issued a final standard further reducing methane gas emissions from landfills. Historically, SANTEK Waste Services has absorbed costs related to existing regulations.
However, we will implementing a Regulatory Cost Recovery Charge, effective at the next billing cycle, to help recover the expense of the new regulations. This charge allows us to cover our company-wide costs associated with current regulatory requirements. The percentage of the fee MAY BE CHANGED AT THE DISCRETION of Santek Waste Services based on the cost associated with implementing new regulations."
For those of you who ended up with Santek after Riverside owners sold out, how do you feel about this? Just how much money are we going to be charged on top of the $30 per month? What do you think about the statement that they may change the percentage of this added charge AT THE DISCRETION of the company? This is way too vague for me so I will be looking for a new service. They never pick my trash up like they are supposed to anyway. SMH, government OVERREACH.
RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
