<div dir="ltr">FOR THE RECORD<div><br></div><div>Sometime in the past year when similar grumbling appeared on Towntalk, I suggested that The Powers That Be in Riverdale Park consider reaching out to WB Waste or Progressive Waste in Cheverly/Hyattsville. The company has been picking up trash at The Natoli Place Apartments in Beautiful Downtown Riverdale Park for nearly a decade without a hitch and at a great rate. The company replaced the Tony Soprano-like Waste Management. (Now there's a company that enjoys its heel on your windpipe!). Well, forgetta bout it. Since I posted the love note company owners formed an alliance with BATES TRASH that calls for BATES to retrieve our trash. Immediately pick up problems began. After a two-week span of no pick-up, I did have a rather forceful conversation with a Bates family member (not Norman for you Hitchcock fans) and the pick up was made. Since then, service has been better but not great. Overall, the good service has gone south faster than US hopes for a nuclear-free North Korea! </div><div><br></div><div>My suggestion is that RPMD businesses and residents form a GOOD TRASH committee and come together to help find some operation that does what it sez it'll do and do it for the right price. There has to be a company that does a good job for the right price. And let me know when you find it. </div><div><br></div><div>For the record: The Town of Cheverly handles twice-a-week trash pick up and Wednesday recycling flawlessly and has for the almost four decades that I have had to worry about such trash. My experience with RP's Director of Pubic Works Leonard Addison is that he could pull off a similar miracle with the right tools. </div><div><br></div><div>Stay Dry,</div><div><br></div><div>Jeffrey Yorke</div><div>Yorke Partners</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 18, 2018 at 4:54 PM, Marianna Previti <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mariannarose@hotmail.com" target="_blank">mariannarose@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Bates does it again.
