Best trash rate increase

ZMAN :
Unfortunately, on the other side of the bridge you're not in COH even though it's technically considered Kingwood.

Best Trash really had to deal with our BS after cleaning out the fridge last week. I can't complain about them right now lol it was that bad!

MissAmericanPie : So.....I cannot elect to have COH trash then?

Aggie89 : Huh. Well, my DD who lives in EG has COH.

Move in a van down by the river
You can throw your rubbish wherever.

ZMAN :
HOAs do not get a kickback. To even imply that is borderline defamatory. The way it works in MBV is that COH reimburses the community $6/month for each home each month. It amounts to ~$7,200. That ~$7,200 is then sent to the private hauler, in MBV's case Best Trash. This helps offset the quarterly cost per home. I have fought with COH Solid Waste Department about the amount of their reimbursement. It should be about $20/month, not $6/month.
So, NO, the HOA in MBV at least DOES NOT POCKET THE MONEY.
COH has serious issues with reliability, picks up garbage once a week and recycling every other week. COH's bulk pickup is almost non-existent, ask the residents of Elm Grove who waited months.
Best Trash (and Waste Management before them) has been incredibly reliable. They pick up garbage twice a week and recycling weekly. You can leave out large items most any time.

ZMAN : The COH will not service anymore villages in Kingwood. Sand Creek asked and the city said no because of the cost. The COH continues to pay the $6 a month for private trash per household. The money is sent to the HOA. The HOA does pay Best trash the $6 a month even though the city is about a year behind in payments. According to the COH it would cost the city $20.00 per household to service the Village. The COH is always about the money.

Chrysanthemum :
What I said.

ZMAN : actually they only gave a few of the villages the choice, Sand Creek was not one of them.

ZMAN : No they will not help. The city only services the front of Kingwood. Most Sand Creek residents would not support COH trash pick up. They would be screaming at the board.
