The City's new RESIDENTIAL hauler, Elite Waste Disposal, will be finishing up delivering the new garbage cans today (7/26). There is a letter from Elite on the inside of the can for you to read. Please put your Waste Management refuse containers out tomorrow (7/27) for your regular pickup and Waste Management will remove their refuse cans and you can start using your Elite refuse cans. Elite will do their first regular pick up on TUESDAY August 7th for RESIDENTIAL ONLY then every TUESDAY for refuse from there on out and every other TUESDAY for recycling.

I didnt see prices. Were they cheaper? Or what is the reason for the switch? Other then just for the sake of change?
