Bid out our towns garbage contract

#6: - Re: My two cents 

 You said it yourself, "the reason I shop around is because after my contract expires my price goes up".  But, what if it didn't go up?   What if the company you were using and happy with said you can keep your same service at the same rate for three more years?   Wouldn't you jump on that opportunity?   My point is people are throwing around baseless accusations of corruption when there are logical reasons why things may have been done   

The truth of the matter is, you can not compare apples to apples when it comes to garbage rates.  You can not say Schererville got it cheaper so we should too. Larger communities can get it cheaper because companies can cut costs and still make profits.  They can't do that with smaller communities and Lowell is the smallest in Lake County.  We will pay more...  It is simple economics.  

Finally, if you think all garbage haulers are the same you are sorely mistaken.  I remember the last company the town used and they were horrible!   Then, you truly had garbage flying everywhere.
