Hi,

Representatives of the county have stated that the selected hauler will use mechanical collection trucks. This provision effectively eliminates local providers Ibarras and MCT and hands the proposed seven year contract to Waste Management, a national corporation with large, noisy trucks.

The purported reason for the ordinance is to expand recycling by providing curb-side pickup of recyclable materials, probably excluding glass. Ibarras currently provides this service, including glass pickup.

I am very satisfied with my current provider and disturbed by the intrusion of a government-sponsored monopoly into a locally competitive business and by the possibility that our local businesses will be harmed or eliminated.

I urge you not to pass this ordinance.

You can also email each one of the Commissioners (emails below) and Craig O’Hare with Santa Fe County directly and encourage each of them to vote NO! Sample email below.
 
The Santa Fe County Commission will vote on this ordinance on June 30 at the Commissioners Chambers located at 102 Grant Avenue at 2:00pm. Comments can be sent to:

Craig O’Hare cohare@santafecountynm.gov
our County Commissioners Miguel M. Chavez mchavez@santafecountynm.gov Commissioner District 2;
Henry Roybal hproybal@santafecountynm.gov Commissioner District 1;

Robert A. Anaya, ranaya@santafecountynm.gov Commissioner District 3;

Kathy Holian, kholian@santafecountynm.gov  Commissioner District 4,

Liz Stefanics, lstefanics@santafecountynm.gov Commissioner District 5.

That’s why I signed a petition to Henry Robal, Commissioner District 1, Miguel M. Chavez, Commissioner District 2, Robert A. Anaya, Commissioner District 3, Kathy Holian, Commissioner District 4, and Liz Stefanics, Commissioner District 5, which says:

“If the ordinance passes, residents will lose the ability to select their own waste hauler and will be obliged either to haul waste themselves or use the county-selected provider.”
