Familyman - you take it there in whole pieces. I called them before and it's $4.69 for a pick-up load.
Bigdogdaddy - You are exactly right. Look at every city in the nation and there are tons of these partnerships set up, unless of course the local government is incompetent. It relieves the city from the burden of doing a task as well as the expense of handling that task and they get money back in return. Smart business!
Pat - Uh, i've been out there one time now and you begin to realize what it costs this company to operate once you see all the equipment it takes to compost the material we bring them. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they had over a million dollars in equipment out there. We live in a world where recycling of materials is happening more and more often so remember, next time you buy a soda, or a water in a recycled plastic container, you just paid for that too! If you're not being charged for recycling household products, you soon will be as cities across the nation put that burden on its inhabitants.
One wonders if you're speaking of the landfill, or the brush site since they are two different places. BFI is no longer BFI and is now Republic, they run the landfill. The city no longer runs a brush site. I just called the brush site (operated by GardenVille) and they charge $4.69 a cubic yard which is about the size if a pick up truck bed. It's a small amount compared to taking it to the landfill which has much higher prices. In addition, from a call made to the landfill, they don't want the brush, it takes up large amounts of airspace and would rather you take it to the GardenVille site where it's composted and can be bought by anyone in the area for their gardens.
IF you did actually take the brush to the GardenVille site and paid around $50, that would be over 10 cubic yards worth of brush which is A LOT of brush. You think that should be at zero charge to the customer?
