So for the last 9 years I have been working downtown and we have NEVER had a problem with our garbage/recycling, until cleanscapes came in. We now have to pay double(yes double!! Almost exactly!) then what we did before cleanscapes came along. Also complaints are unheard although we contact them via email andn telephone about illegal dumping. They charge for their bags, pick-up, and ridiculously charge for even unlocking the freakin dumpster!!! I believe that downtown needs to organize and talk to the mayor about this issue!!! It is driving business out of downtown!! People are having a hard enough time looking for a job and business' can't hire if there garbage/recycling bill is more than their revenue!! The idea that it will help the environment is good, but the mayor should have thought it through before throwing us in the river without a paddle!
