6. GFL
Karbash spoke with GFL representative, Jason Johnson, regarding bulk pick up once a month curb side and GFL response was if current contract was changed to “no more than 4 items” monthly each property owner would be charged an additional $1.25 per month.
Concerns expressed: limitation on quantity of bulk pick up items, $60 a year charge for long driveways (300 foot) with a waiver required to be signed by owner, GFL could deny based on accessibility, turns, or trees, Large GFL trucks would be driving on driveways, complaints that garbage or recycling not picked up, no option for smaller containers, no answer when calling GFL and the color of the bright green containers. Alternatives to GFL discussed.
