Glad this topic came up. Our waste contractor, Chesapeake Waste, sent us a hefty rate increase last quarter -- and their idiot "fuel surcharge" which I had up til now ignored still there. When I called to inquire, I got the anticipated nonsensical explanation. Immediately terminated service on principle.
Sounds like they may want to compare rates again with the postal service, at that rate of increase it just may be cheaper to use the mail again! They offer overnight, next day and 2-3 day service as well!
Waste Management also...
WM sold our area to Chesapeake. Not happy about it all.
