On November 8th, at a special meeting following the Annual Meeting of the Lake Houston Community Association, the board voted to select Best Trash to provide services to The Enclave beginning January 1, 2019. Waste Management quarterly rate was $58.46 and the new provider, Best Trash, is $45.05 Quarterly.
Our Homeowner Association Board was notified at their October 16th meeting by our management company, Community Asset Management (CAM), that Waste Management, our trash collection provider, would not be renewing our contract. The Board was notified that Waste Management was moving to automated trucks that lifted specific trash cans located at curbside only. The Board was disappointed to hear this news. They requested CAM to contact Waste Management to see when they would cease their current service and what would the new service cost to provide to residents. In addition, the Board requested CAM to pursue bids from other trash collectors that provide services in the area.
CAM received the following response from Waste Management:
“Thank you for your email. It looks like the current term is up on 12/31/2018. Unfortunately, I do not believe I have a cost effective option to propose to the Board as I do not have current ASL truck capacity to support a cost efficient option and/or transition at this time.”
With that response, it left no option for The Enclave to continue with Waste Management.
We look forward to great trash pickup and customer service with Best Trash.
