In its first meeting of the New Year, the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners voted to terminate the contract with Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful Services. This is in response to the temporary injunction issued by the courts in December. The recommendation was added to the agenda by Commissioner Kevin Kenerly, and passed unanimously. A couple of my favorite sites following this are Trash

Who is laughing now?Waste Industries is scrambling to save the business they once enjoyed in Gwinnett County. They expected to lose all of their customers after the implementation of a very controversial county waste management plan. Instead of joining in with the two small businesses that challenged this plan, they tried to suck every last dime they could, by charging a deactivation fee.

My interest and knowledge in the new plan for waste and recycling in Gwinnett has grown by leaps and bounds over the last month. My first post only touched on what really appears to be happening. I find it a bit amusing that Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful (GCB) was surprised ...and is questioning the temporary injunction ordered by Judge Michael Clark yesterday. According to a document named

In Gwinnett County this has been a very hot topic since the beginning of November. I briefly introduced my thoughts in a post about Gwinnett County Monopolizing a Utility. Last night this was put on hold. In short, the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners hired a private non-profit organization (Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful) to manage and enforce a new waste disposal plan for the county.

Hi everyone. I know I haven't posted much lately, but I been a bit busy trying to make improvements. At least I think they are, and I hope you will agree. As you can tell, the site has change quite a bit. It is a modified version of a template provided by a site called Our Blogger Templates. Take a look around, I hope you will enjoy it. I still have some tweaks to do, but feel free to leave

Even though this is a local issue in Gwinnett County Georgia, it could be affecting other unsuspecting customers in the United States. How can a company charge you a deactivation fee when they are discontinuing service? The company I’m referring to is Waste Industries, one of the largest Solid Waste Collection Agencies in the south, with reported annual revenue of over 100 million dollars. This

About ten days ago, a good friend of mine forwarded me an email informing me Gwinnett County will be going to a mandatory solid waste collection system in January 2009. Evidently, in April 2008, the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners adopted, and approved a new plan that designated Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful (GCB Services, Inc.) to implement, manage and enforce a new enhanced waste and

I know it has been a few days since I posted, and I would like to apologize. This site however is still in a pre-launch state. I’ve been focusing a lot of my attention to some time consuming tasks, in hopes of creating a successful site and blog. The problem is it did not provide you with any new articles.Most of the changes have been behind the scenes as in getting some web tools to work. One

You must have heard by now. The government is bailing out the financial institutions and now pushing the bail out of the Detroit Big Three; General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. The statement has been made, “THEY ARE TOO BIG TO LET FAIL”. It’s true; these companies employ millions of people, and about 10% of all American businesses are tied to the Auto Industry. Think about it, dealerships, used car

Even though the election did not turn out the way I, or many others wanted it to, I do have to say this; it is truly a great historic day for the United States of America. I am still very proud to call myself an American and I’m grateful I live in the greatest nation in the world. This election is proof that in this country all men and women are created equal. In this country you are not judged

I just heard about this today and can’t believe I missed it. It is official!! The San Francisco Chronicle confirmed on July 18, there is a proposal on the San Francisco Ballot that would rename the city’s “Oceanside Sewage Treatment Plant” after President George W Bush. It is Proposition R on the San Francisco Ballot and carries a “yes” “no” vote. It is due to the diligent hard work of the

All over the news you here people are referring to Barack Obama and his tax policies as socialist. I have to emphatically say THIS ABSOLUTLY JUST IS NOT TRUE!!! After all, in his proposed tax policies he says he wants to only (and I quote) “raise the taxes on the wealthy”, “those who are making over $250,000 a year” and, “those who can afford it”. He goes on to say, (which I again quote) he

At a press conference yesterday, Barack attempted to cover up and limit the damages of Joe Biden's comments Tuesday about the world testing the Obama presidency in the first 6 months. In the words of Senator Biden:Read the full Biden quote"And here's the point I want to make. Mark my words. Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy.

In a recent address Obama's running mate, Joe Biden stated emphatically that if Obama is elected to the Presidency the Unites States would be tested with a new crisis. I don't know about the rest of America, but I do not want the US tested again.

I guess there is a first time for everything. Today I'm starting a blog. This is something I've never done before and would like to see what it is all about. I guess this is a test to see if I can use the site and tools.I would eventually like to see if I can transfer this to another site that I running to share with friends and family.
