[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only the trash companies who are afraid they will have to competitively bid for work oppose this.[/quote] A yearly REC Center membership in Fairfax County is $700. A yearly membership at Planet Fitness is $350. As you can see, Fairfax County is well known for never managing to compete with private companies. The proposed sanitation district is even worse because the county is going to buy service from private companies and then resell it to the residents. The is no savings due to scale because there are only about three private trash haulers for over a million people.[/quote] Planet Fitness isn’t comparable to a rec center. Stupid argument. Private trash companies have been screwing residents over for years with horrible service. And it’s ridiculous that multiple trash trucks go through the same neighborhoods each week. So wasteful. I couldn’t believe trash wasn’t handled by the county - it’s a clear public good.[/quote]
