Garbage rate increase proposed for N. Shore
Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal is proposing to raise rates by 1 percent starting July 1.
There will be a public hearing on the topic on June 11 at 9am in the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors meeting room in Placerville.
Currently residents pay $24.69 for one 32-gallon gallon or $32.61 for two cans per month. The rate increase would have those fees to go $24.94 and $32.94, respectively.
Question: Do the same people own this company as the ones who own ST Refuse and Douglas Disposal?
Dogula,
STR, Douglas disposal along with their other branches are not connected with Tahoe Truckee Disposal in any way. Okay, they do get together once in awhile to talk about trash but that’s the extent of it .They are different companies entirely. Not owned by the same folks, but both good companies and I might add a 1% increase is minimal. STR covers a HUGE area but North Shore aint part of it.
To quote Monty Python “And now for something completely different…”
By the way Dogula, how does your garden grow? My plants survived the cold (with a tarp) and are slowly breaking ground. Radishes, lettuce, onions, spuds, peas and a bunch of other stuff. Keep growing! OLS
Thanks for the info, OLS. It was purely curiosity.
Garden is hangin’ in. One of the 3 tomato plants is looking sketchy, but it’s on the cooler side of the house. I used mud buckets to cover them, and I think the other 2 will be okay. The rest is all good, the plants were still very young and low to the ground. I covered them gently with old flannel sheets, like the babies they are!
Let’s stay posted!
You should try putting them in hanging pots, the kind that are upside down. Tomatoes respond very well to being upside down. And you can move them anywhere you want and they don’t take up floor space.
Fish, those tomato hangers do look intriguing; have you used them? This year I’m sticking to what I already have around the house. ($$$!) But the mobility of those units looks really convenient for keeping the plants in the sunny spots. Maybe next year.
Dogula & thing fish,
What? I’m lumping you two together? thing fish, thanks for bringing up the upside down tomato planter. I’ve had one for a year and I never took it out of the box till this morning after reading your comment. Thanks for the nudge! I’ll see how it works and report back later.
Dogula, I’m gonna try this contraption with one of my indoor grown tomato plants that I grew from seed and they are pretty wimpy. If that doesn’t work I will buy a store bought plant that is more mature and try again. I think I bought the “Topsy Turvy”, as it’s called on the box, planter at the K Mart garden center.
Warm weather ahead, plant seeds now!
