Residents of Palm Bay, get ready for a significant change that could affect your trash collection. The City of Palm Bay is taking a firm new stance with its waste hauler, Republic Services, and it's all centered around the new rules for trash carts. What does this sudden shift away from years of leniency mean for your service? And what's at stake in this escalating dispute, which goes far beyond just your trash cans and into millions of dollars? The city's move is tied to a contentious history and a contract that has residents consistently rating their service as poor.

I, for one, would be happy if the town got rid of this garbage company (in more ways than one). Way too many missed pickups
Thanks Tom. One thing I've noticed over time, many residents will be silent or aloof about many of the actions of City government, but if you want to see significant resident feedback, bring up the subject of trash collection. Just sharing my experience (which may be a aberration given all of the negative feedback I read) . Since Republic started waste collection (twice a week, @ 2x the fee of the previous Waste Management contract which was once a week). I have rarely had any problems with Republic. I put out trash, recycling, and yard waste weekly, it generally gets picked up at approximately at the same time every week. I'd hate to imagine what a pain-in-the neck it would be if my service was otherwise. If fee payers are experiencing lapses in service, I hope it gets fixed soon.
