The City Council of Raytown is considering eliminating your ability to choose your own garbage company.
While the city most likely has the best of intentions, this decision, if adopted, may do more harm than good. Proposed and centralized billing means fees may be added to your bill. One primary hauler means there is no incentive to earn your business through better pricing or services, and less money will be stimulating the local economy!
Contact your city officials, and let them know you prefer to choose your garbage hauler.
Choosing your own garbage company allows you to compare prices and services between different companies, and select the one that best meets your needs and budget.
By choosing your own company, you may have more control over the schedule of garbage pickup, and have the option to choose additional services such as recycling or yard waste pickup.
Having a direct relationship with your garbage company makes it easier to address any issues or concerns that may arise. Independent garbage haulers also employ people locally.
Services such as recycling, organic pick-up options, and more may become obsolete if the City of Raytown eliminates your ability to choose your garbage service. Independent haulers offer a variety of residential and commercial services. They also employ people locally. You’ll be talking to your friends and neighbors.
Earth friendly operation is important to independent garbage haulers – not just an afterthought. Independent haulers recognize the importance of sustainability in business operations and how much it means to their customers. Many companies also choose to partake in carbon neutralality and carbon reduction practices – choosing to support a healthy planet.
