Reminder - New Trash Company - Bates Trucking

/

As a reminder, our new trash company, Bates Trucking, will begin their first pick up on Friday (Jan 4th). Recycling (this week only) is planned for Saturday (Jan 5th).

Christmas Tree pick up is planned for Friday Jan 4th, Tuesday Jan 8th, and Friday Jan 11th.

Normal schedule is planned to start on Tuesday Jan 8th with pickups on Tuesdays and Fridays.

At this time, there are no plans to replace trash and recycling bins with this change in servicing company.

Additionally, it is recognized that the stationary trash cans throughout the community have been full. We have notified our landscaping company as they are responsible for emptying those stations, as well we have notified Bates Trucking of their responsibility to pick up the trash/recycling from the community center parking lot bins.

While we hope things will go as planned this week and next, the reality is that we may see some learning curve hiccups with the new company. We appreciate everyone’s patience in advance as we work through this transition.

Trash Company Information

/

Neighbors,

As many are aware our trash and recycling company has changed a number of times in 2018, with Waste Management being the company we have most recently been serviced by.

We were informed this morning that Waste Management has sold off the contract for our neighborhood to what would be the 4th company in 1 year to service GMP. The new company is called Bates Trucking, and service with Bates begins on 1/1/2019.

Bates will continue to follow the Tuesday, Friday pickup schedule. For this holiday week, they will pick up only on Friday for trash, and Saturday for recycling. Christmas trees will be picked up on normal trash days these next two weeks.

Additionally, as part of our budget planning for this year, we had made a decision to move to a new company. Those efforts are still under pursuit as they were held up by Waste Management and their understanding of the contract we were operating under. As soon as we have more information it will be shared with the community.
