To the editor: No improve for trash pickup service in 17 years (“Trash charges will spike for a lot of L.A. residents in aftermath of metropolis’s fiscal disaster,” Oct. 7)? There ought to be at the very least a minimal improve yearly. It’s irresponsible to not have one.
Each week, costly vans pushed by expert staff come to 1’s dwelling and take away the entire trash and recycling. The vans then journey to a landfill to get rid of it, which I’m positive costs a price, and the recycling goes elsewhere. These vans should be serviced, maintained and changed, and stuffed with gas. I think about the employees are paid a good wage. How can any metropolis division wherever, a lot much less Los Angeles, function on a finances from 2008?
Clearly, town has made some very shortsighted choices throughout finances occasions. Residents ought to really feel fortunate to have paid lower than $10 per week for 17 years.
