They say their trash bills are higher and they're not getting as good a service. Many didn’t like the process of picking the new companies.Resident Kevin Dillard says there is a lot not to like about this deal: "If you look at the timeline for the process, it was bungled so badly. It’s like government by Barney Fife except Barney Fife is likeable.”When the process started, the only company to bid on the deal ran into problems. The city demanded that there be penalties in the contract that would require the company to pay up if they missed pickups for example.That could prove really expensive for the company.
