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 must be a minimum of a minimal improve yearly. It’s irresponsible to not have one.
Each week, costly vehicles pushed by expert staff come to 1’s dwelling and take away the entire trash and recycling. The vehicles then journey to a landfill to eliminate it, which I’m positive expenses a charge, and the recycling goes elsewhere. These vehicles must be serviced, maintained and changed, and stuffed with gasoline. I think about the employees are paid a good wage. How can any metropolis division anyplace, a lot much less Los Angeles, function on a funds from 2008?
Clearly, town has made some very shortsighted choices throughout funds instances. Residents ought to really feel fortunate to have paid lower than $10 per week for 17 years.
