 |
|
I received a letter this afternoon from Central Jersey Waste and Recycle offering the following deal:
1-96 Gallon container
1x week pickup
$75 per quarter (all taxes and surcharged included; good for 1-year)
Cost will not exceed $27.5 over 3 years
732-533-3999
This is very tempting. |

| Seems to me for $75. per quarter here is a simple solution and no further discussion is necessary. Now we can stop wasting time and effort on the Garbage Tax and can get down to reducing taxes. |

I got the notice right around the election. Central Jersey apparently wants a customer base before we go to bid as a town.
I then called Midco as I had 2 x pick up for 64 gallon and paid 126.00 a quarter. Midco turned me to a manager and they said they were willing to negotiate as they heard about the Central Jersey and our vote for garbage collection in town. They offered me the same deal as Central Jersey or my current pick up for the same cost as Central Jersey's promotion.
So I'd recommend calling and seeing what your provider would do. It looks like the TC and the referendum vote helped us out by giving us leverage we did not have before.  |

Works for me, too. Thanks for the info. |

| Anyone know if they are doing deals on the twice-a-week service for the larger containers? |

Central Jersey approached me last year and I called Midco and have a $75/quarter charge (i.e. They matched Central Jersey).
Contrary to a previous poster, this had NOTHING to do with our Township burning calories on this issue.
Our township shouldn't waste their energy on trash (i.e. searchig for a "problem" to a "solution"), but rather burn their calories on things like lowering our taxes (school taxes for sure!!) |

I am telling you what the companies told me when I called. Maybe they lied to me, but why would they.
As an FYI, the TC is looking at garbage because the voters said do it, the voters could have said no and it would have stopped. The TC has nothing to do with our school taxes. That is the BOE who has nothing to do in turn has nothing to do with the garbage proposal. |

I know the BOE has nothing to do with school taxes. However, it makes up well over 60% of my total tax bill. Saving $200 or so a year on garbage is nothing to sneeze at, however, it's like trying to put out a campfire in the middle of a forest fire. |

I have been using Midco for years now and I pay $76 per quarter for a 96-gallon tote once a week since the spring of this year. I got Midco to reduce their prices after Central Jersey came in with the $75 offer.
If the township can get a trash company to come in twice a week to pick a 64-gallon tote for $270 a year, that would fine for me. However, I do not think it is fair for the empty-nesters and those families that do not produce much trash or anyone who does not use the service. For me, we should be spending our time and energy figuring ways to reduce our property taxes instead. |

Well, considering the residents voted to investigate there is no discussion. The TC must now investigate and put it on referendum. Then next year everyone can vote and say yes or no. |

Realistically if you want to save a lot of money on school taxes your best bet is to move. A lot of people in this town moved here for the schools and from their POV that's the main benefit of paying taxes here. That's why when well over half of all school budgets were rejected by voters earlier this year ours won approval by a landslide. So, right or wrong, you are in the minority. And Christie can't help short of forcing the entire township to merge since we already get $0 from the state and cover 100% of our costs locally.
In fact, over 25% of the school budget is state mandated programs that benefit less than 10% of students. So if you really want to save money on school taxes the solution is to get the state to reduce its mandated program which they don't help fund, or to at least fund programs they mandate. |

It's such a pain to have to adequately educate those unfortujnate disabled children - what were those governmental officials in Trenton thinking? |

Maybe the cost should be actual as opposed to mandated spending. |

| There are a couple interesting articles about special ed in the HNT today. It makes you wonder if we aren't systematically mis-classifying thousands of kids. |
