Circle C Neighbors

City Requirements for Annexation

My guess is that you were not around when the City of Austin was annexing Circle C.

We had twice per week garbage pick up and that was great for our community. Trash stinks when it sits for a long time, ie. especially a week.

Since we had twice weekly trash service before annexation, the city was required to give us the same services we had before annexation...so they let us opt out of their trash service and contract our own.

We went through quite a lot with the annexation and for you to suggest we get less than we all insisted on having is absurd.

Perhaps some did not have their trash out today because of spring break and not being around to collect the garbage that we normally have.

The service we have now also will pick up bulk items at no extra charge if you call them ahead of time. Try getting The City of Austin to do that! With spring cleaning of yards, etc. there is alot of work done on the weekends that is bagged up and set out for trash pick up. This would cost a fortune if we had City of Austin picking it up!

As for myself and a whole lot of other long time residents of Circle C, we want to keep the services we always had before we were annexed.

Thanks!

Robb, Use Your Energy Wisely


Yes, I totally agree with anonymous246. I live all by myself and I don?’t have much trash, but I like having two pickups a week for sanitary reason.

I don?’t think you could have your garbage disposal expense cut in half just by having only one pickup. The most you can save is 25%-30%; that translates into only saving a few dollars per quarter.

Robb, please stop wasting your time and energy to go after a few dollars. Use your energy to go after Gary Bradley ?– he is a person who costs us, the taxpayers, million of dollars!

Ok, Ok, You Guys Win!

I promise to bring the cans for all my neighbors for a month. I was hoping to be a ''thinker'' but I guess I'm a stinker. Stop the madness!

Robb,

Thanks for your post, we all learned something about our services. And, that's always a good thing. Great post.
