The ran 9e of charges r s from $3.98 for the 2 yd., 2 times a week to $1.95 for the 10 yd.. ] times a week. vRl though the above chart may appear complicated at first glance, it really isn't. It is simply the salt o4 open ma rkat competition i which a business that i a high volume producer waste (a Mc OOna3d's o an apartment complex for example) does not get unfairly penal itetl .,r hurt by a £i xed flat cubic yard rate. for example, it costs the s me to send a truck and driver to an ovnt whether they have a 2 yd. o n B yd. container, whether a 3 yd, o a 6 yd. container. Once at the customer location the cost differences are the differences in the purchase price of the containers and the volume of the garbage, thus the cubic yard rate decreases as the volume and frequency of pickup increase. As an option available to the cvstome r, specialized pickups o containers ar vail able and timed pickups can be a ranged. Any of these or other non rstanda rd type pickups will Ue nego ti ated di rectiy between the customer and contractor.
