The trash collection survey closed at 5 PM yesterday, with responses from 110 homes - about 70% of the neighborhood. A slim majority of homes selected the 2x offering.
Reading through the comments, we found that the "Neither" response was actually an "either is fine" response. There were also two homes that chose 1x, but said that either is fine in the comments.
If we remove all "either" responses, we get 56 to 51. If we add them all to the 1x side, it becomes 56 to 54. If we add them all to the 2x side, it becomes 59 to 51. Any way we slice it, 2x was the favorite.
It is unfortunate that Republic does not feel they can offer more than one level of service in the neighborhood. It is now clear that a number of residents will be displeased either way. The COHAD Board is providing this feedback to Republic, and is recommending that Republic provide Canyon Oaks with the 2x offering, given the majority in favor of it.
Residents that do not want this offering can cancel their Republic service and hire another company to collect their trash. Several companies were mentioned in the August 19th update. There may be others that we are not aware of.
