Trash Savings are on the Way!

A number of Stonecroft residents brought forward a proposal to the quarterly board meeting(s) with a recommendation to the board to select a single refuse company. There were several valid rationales presented to the board including, but not limited to the following:

• Lowering the cost of waste removal and eliminating unnecessary charges from individual bills
  
• Increasing the subdivision’s leverage to negotiate better pricing and ensure costs remain consistent over the next 5 years
  
• Limiting the number of trucks coming in and out of the subdivision
  
• Providing a safer environment for kids to play
  
• Reducing the amount of wear and tear on the front monument and subdivision streets
  
• Improving the aesthetics of the neighborhood by reducing visibility of trash and recycling bins
  

Over the past couple of months, the board evaluated proposals from Republic, Meridian, Aspen, Waste Management, and Grace trash companies. After reviewing the proposal, the Board has recommended Waste Management as the preferred vendor for reasons that included price guarantees, flexibility, responsiveness, and the majority of the subdivision is already using Waste Management.
​The board would like to personally thank Tory Gambino who led this effort. With the assistance from homeowners, we can accomplish a lot to help keep our subdivision one of the premier neighborhoods in St. Charles.
