What is the city planning to do?

It’s come to our attention that the City of Merriam, Kansas is wrapping up discussions in favor of moving towards a one-contracted garbage hauler. While the city most likely has the best of intentions, this decision, if adopted, may do more harm than good.

YOUR GARBAGE, YOUR CHOICE

I am concerned about the City going to only one garbage hauler for the following reasons:

I am concerned about the city going to only one garbage hauler for the following reasons:

You are taking away my right to choose. One hauler means less ability to customize my garbage service. I will lose the ability to compare rates between garbage haulers. I may get stuck with a garbage hauler that has poor environmental standards. I’m concerned about declining customer service. The hauler may not be local or family owned. A single contracted hauler system will cause my community to lose jobs.

WHY SHOULD YOU BE ALLOWED TO CHOOSE?

Competition Motivates Lower Prices and Better Services

For every $1 spent at a small business, $0.67 stays in our community, with about $0.44 going directly to the small business owner and their employees.

Choosing a Local Hauler Keeps the Money and Jobs in Our Community

Supporting Small Businesses Stimulates Local Economy Growth

Access to Flexible Service Options Like Weekly Recycling and Organics

STOP THE CITY COUNCIL!

From Taking Away Your Right to Choose

The City Council proposes eliminating your ability to choose your own garbage company.

While they have the best of intentions, this may do more harm than good for residents.

The City Can ADD FEES to Your Garbage Bill
Residents are forced to spend MORE money on cans and fees than initially predicted
You’re Stuck With a Non-Local, Out of Area Hauler
Poor Customer Service When There’s NO Choice
LESS MONEY Stimulating Our Local Economy
NO Competition Means Higher Prices
NO More Flexibility Options Like Weekly Recycling
Residents COULD end up with a National Hauler rather than a Local Hauler
