Speaking of garbage
In the same theme as my earlier post today: The company responsible for hauling garbage for much of San Mateo County has been accused of dumping nearly 65,000 tons of plant waste that should have gone to compost in a landfill instead.
The dispute comes as the company, a Phoenix firm called Allied Waste (their website has an animated slogan reading Greener And Cleaner), is set to negotiate a new contract when the present one expires in 2010. The company is also being acquired by Republic Services, which itself is trying to prevent a takeover by garbage giant Waste Management, Inc.
