Mayor Turner is considering eliminating subsidies to HOAs that prefer to use a trash service other than the COH. Â If this happens, we will face a choice of using the COH trash pickup which does curb-side pickup only, or paying more to continue our "back-door" trash pickup.
I just read the article, it is not very clear however my understanding it that it only affects HOA's that get paid a subsidy for COH trash pick-up or that the homeowner does not pay for their own trash pick-up. I know when I lived in Elm Grove I had COH trash pick-up and did not pay for it however in Hunter's Ridge I pay for trash pick-up with WM.  Does that mean the Hunter's Ridge HOA is paying part of my trash bill?The article also stated "cutting these sponsorship payments to the 48,000 participating homes would save the city $3.5million"  When you consider the number of homes in Houston, Kingwood for that matter, it is not a lot of homes affected.  I sure there will be more to come....
