Talking Trash: Everything You Need to Know About Veolia
Highland Park Patch breaks down the city's new garbage services into three simple-to-read graphics.
On Oct. 1, the Highland Park city council did something that the whole city is still reeling from. No, it didn't get embroiled in a pension scandal -- it switched the city's garbage service to Veolia Environmental Services.
Since then, council members and city officials have been bombarded with calls and questions from residents:
- Do I have to pay for my service while I'm in away during the winter?
- Does backdoor really mean backdoor, or does it mean the top of the driveway?
- Do I need to get a new garbage container?
- Why did you do this?
So we've assembled a few graphs that break down everything you need to know about how to take care of your garbage. From costs to cart sizes to pick-up frequency -- it's all here.
