Recology. While the costs associated with waste collection in the Bay Area are certainly <br />higher than the national average, and somewhat higher rates than the national average <br />are to be expected, Redwood City homeowners are currently paying approximately <br />seven to ten times the rates that are typically charged to homeowners in the United <br />States who receive waste collection services under a franchise agreement (either <br />through a government franchise or through an agreement with an HOA). This price <br />differential is unconscionable: even accounting for the higher costs in the Bay Area, <br />seven to ten times the typical domestic rate is an indefensible premium. The City <br />Council, as well as the South Bayside Waste Management Authority, should be finding <br />ways to lower our rates -- not asking for yet another increase. <br /> <br />Yours sincerely, <br />/s/ Patrick Toth
