How will the new plan work?     

• Unincorporated Gwinnett County has been divided into five service areas.
• Residents will begin receiving service from their new waste hauler starting July 1, 2010.
• Residents will have once-per-week pick-up of household waste, recyclables, and larger items like appliances and old furniture.
• The initial monthly service fee for the first 18 months will be $17.86 per household, to be paid to Gwinnett County on the property tax statement.
• Yard waste pickup will continue to be an elective service provided by the waste hauler in each district. Monthly service fee will be $10.00, to be paid semi-annually to the waste hauler.

 

What are the benefits of the new plan?

• Cleaner neighborhoods: Under the new plan, homeowners will have the opportunity to recycle 35 different items as part of their regular solid waste pick-up service. Additionally, there are approximately 20,000 homes that don't have waste collection services currently that will now have weekly garbage pick-up.
• Environmental sustainability: With only one hauler providing service throughout a neighborhood, there will be less traffic and pollution. The new system also complies with state law that requires the County to update its solid waste management plan every 10 years.
• More efficient and cost-effective: One hauler per district is more efficient, cost effective, and better for the roads than having multiple trucks crisscrossing neighborhoods and areas on any given day. Homeowners in each district will pay a standard service fee for waste collection.

Until the new service starts in July, you may continue to choose a solid waste provider from the approved list for residential and commercial service. Service under the old plan will be provided through June 30, 2010.

Gwinnett County's Solid Waste Information Center at 770.822.7141 is open for callers Monday through Friday between 7:30am and 5:30pm.

PLEASE REBLOG

Well consider this: 1)    The average person reads 6 blogs per day…. 2)    Twitter doubles in size every 90 days… 3)    Facebook has 250 million active users…. 4)    Youtube has 75 million video views every month…. 5)    Here is the big one..people between the ages of 18-34 spend 40% of their online time on…Social Media sites! I know these facts are hard to comprehend…let me put all of this into perspective… More people are using the top 4 social media sites than are watching…ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News COMBINED.

Some days you run across and sign or an ad that just says it all so clearly.

Clearly "HE" understands marketing

After the dust settles I may ask this Guy to come work for me in the meantime you can bet

tomorrow I will be out garage sale shopping
