Current News & Events / Duffy's Letter
« on: February 25, 2016, 01:32:57 PM »
Hi all I was asked to post by Catherine. (If you have questions, do not respond to me, but reach out to Duffy's) Thank you!


I would like to take this opportunity to address some of the misinformation that has been circulating concerning the decision to either join the Northwest Solid Waste District or go with the $615000 annual contract Casella has proposed.
Firstly, joining the NW District does not mean that you have to use the district’s drop off facilities. That is an option but you can still have a town contract with one hauler or can go with an open market where you can choose your own hauler. The district charges $2 for a 15 gallon bag and $4 for a 30 gallon bag. Private haulers charge about 20-40 a month for weekly plans with containers for waste and recycling. Larger plans may cost a few dollars more, smaller plans charge less.
Casella’s plan comes to $32 per month per household. For thirty two dollars a month you will be allowed 64 gallons of trash per week and will have a container for recycling. This is equivalent to two 30 gallon bags of trash per week. If you have more than that you will pay more! This means that if you go over your 64 gallon limit by one bag a week you will be paying $42 a month or more.
People have also expressed concern that having multiple haulers will increase truck traffic in their neighborhood. There are already multiple waste removal companies picking up dumpsters for commercial customers in Fairfax and the number of companies driving trucks through the town wouldn’t increase very much if people chose their own haulers, there certainly wouldn’t be a noticeable change in truck traffic. Also, neighborhood associations could chose one hauler, receiving a low rate, while limiting truck traffic.
Another concern people have had is that if trash isn't included in the taxes people will just throw their trash every where. Most other towns in the area do not have a one hauler system and they do not have this problem. Most people do the right thing. Fairfax is a town with a population that is educated and has a high socioeconomic status. People will take care of their waste. If this problem did occur at all there is a town Health officer that will address this.
Being able to choose your own hauler gives individual households the chance to choose a company that they think provides the best service based on their own experience. People should not be forced to use one hauler based on a majority vote. They deserve the freedom to choose for themselves. It is proven that more competition in one area lowers the cost of service and stimulates the local economy by giving multiple companies much needed business.  We believe having a free choice system for waste removal in Fairfax will result in lower waste removal costs for everyone and will ensure that haulers are providing the highest quality service possible.
 
 
Thank you,
Catherine Duffy

School is closed due to weather and road conditions.

I hear the roads are awful and if you can stay home today is a good idea. Some have headed to work and turned back around due to the ice.

** Message from Duffy's **

Hi Mary Kay can you get the word out that there were a few roads we couldn't finish today. Christmas has about twice the trash the normal route has so we couldn't get to the dump again. We'll start where we left off first thing tomorrow.

Thank you!
