As a former Manager of Municipal Relations for Republic Services I know many municipalities are facing daunting fiscal challenges. As municipal budgets become more strained, political pressure to reduce the size and cost of government is growing. As a result many government leaders have turned to franchising to provide cost-effective and efficient waste collection, recycling, composting, and disposal services.In addition, many local government’s solid waste and recycling programs consist of a hodgepodge of many different haulers with many different priorities and motivations barreling around town causing unnecessary wear and tear on your roads, excessive pollution, and inconsistent service and customer care. Who wants that?To find out more please drop me an email or give me a call. Chris720-324-1037berrychristopher7@gmail.com
