Chris Mayhew of the Reporter Newspaper reminds Alexandria residents that they can receive a new 96-gallon “Waste Wheeler” and a 65-gallon wheeled recycling container by calling Rumpke at 877-786-7537 or emailing them at southeast.market@rumpke. The request must be made by January 31 and is for Alexandria residents only. There will be no charge for these containers over and beyond the yearly assessment that residents pay when they pay their annual city property taxes.
This arrangement is possible due to the contract that was negotiated with Rumpke by former Mayor Dan McGinley for waste collection charges.
If you purchased these from Lowe’s on-line the cost would be $96.40 for a 96-gallon size and $72.45 for a 64-gallon size for a total of $168.85.
This offsets the $168.00 a resident pays for trash collection this year.
A pretty good deal.
Now if we could just prevent a few of our residents from allowing their friends or relatives who live in the county from bringing their trash to Alexandria, our waste collection fees might rise at a slower rate. The county has waste collection available for a fee but participating is an option.
