My Error

I was informed that I did indeed make an error.

In my posting about the simple mathematics, I mistakenly used the figure of $60 per week as the fees were going to be increased to. I apologize for my mistake. It made me make an overestimation of the increase and the amounts we pay.

I have been informed that the rate increased last year (around April 1) from $40 per week to $50 per week and that there is no further increase scheduled or asked for by Larry Tidman. The extra pickup rate was also raised from $20 to $25 per pickup at the same time.

So if there were no extra pickups the total anual cost assuming 52 weeks of pickups would be $2600 (plus GST) .

Breakdown Per Home: $40 per year, $3.33 per month, $0.77 per week (this is not the increase but is the total!)

An extra pickup would cost each owner 38 cents.

The increase amounts to 25% over the 8 years, or 3.125% per year.

Thats what this whole quibble is allegedly about...77 cents a week total. An increase to you of 2 cents per day .
