Is anyone in Burlington, NC having trouble with the recyclables. They haven't picked ours up for 8 weeks (4 times) and all I get from the company rep is we will "escalate" it. You can never speak to a supervisor.

I am

Because the county makes it so cheap that people like me pull out of Guildford county garbage collection. Republic Iowns landfills they dump free. They want us to give customers 2 cans that cost 150 dollars for both. Then charge 18 a month to collect garbage and recycling that, means we run 2 trucks 6 times a month for 4.50 a week. We pay for fuel,labor, and almost 40dollars a ton to dump. It's almost impossible unless ur a big company. So they have no competition much. And they know it. I just pulled my last 200 stops out of Guildford. If we ad a 1000 new customers the can cost is a 150000.00 dollars who can do that only any scale but a monopoly. So I lose about .50cent a can a week picking up in Guildford. I'd rather run garbage in Randolph county at16.50 a month and not have all the restrictions to deal with and make 2.00 profit a can. No one inresident of Guildford is required to recycle. But wanting it makes garbage collection unprofitable to the company.

That's exactly what they said about not picking up my trash for 2 1/2 weeks.
