Guest Guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Just got my quarterly bill for Taylor Garbage. Bill is for 58.50 +1..50 fuel surcharge + 4..80 tax for a total of 64.80. How much do you pay? How much are those Binghamton bags? This does not include yard waste which you have to have extra stickers for that cost over 2.00/container or 26.00 for the season.

Guest trashman Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Bert Adams-$68.04 quarterly, includes a"fuel surcharge" $6. I'm thinking of taking it to the dump and paying the tipping fees-it can't be this expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I pay $97.20 for six months with Bill Teft. I could pay a few dollars less if I went with Stackhouse but Teft will pick up any day they go by my house if I let them know I have something going out. Also, the guys will let me load big stuff on I need to get rid of it if I throw them a few extra bucks. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 OP here. Not sure if it is relevant, but my price is for two cans although I've put out three from time to time and never had a problem. Never heard of Teft, wonder where they service? @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Doctor S. Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 We "dumped" Taylor quite some time ago. Seems like every year they were raising their prices. We went with A&M Disposal out of Apalachin. http://www.amdisposal.com/ Paying about $45 per qtr. for one can, but they don't have a problem with extra stuff, and they will not throw your cans over your yard like Taylor does. They will bring your cans right back to your house. They also offer senior citizen discounts. Great service! Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I take mine to the landfill once or twice a month for $2.00. On the way back we stop at Green Brothers for a great breakfast. You are probably SOL without a truck or SUV, but it really is $2.00 for up to 200#. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Do you still have to use stickers for Taylor? That's why I didn't go with them, I didn't want to fuss with stickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I go with Taylors and I love them! They are so nice there! I understand the rising costs with fuel increasing sooo much. I can barely afford to drive to work and home. I feel bad for the professions that depend on the price of fuel! They do not use the stickers anymore. And for A & M, I asked Taylors why they dont do that and they told me that if one of those people fall on your property, it is your homeowner's insurance that is liable. You may get sued if one of them guys gets hurt while they are returning the cans! I am not willing to take that chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Do you still have to use stickers for Taylor? That's why I didn't go with them, I didn't want to fuss with stickers. I never did use those stickers from Taylor, and they never gave me a problem. I don't think they do that anymore for the garbage. The notice I just got for yard waste is for 2.16/sticker or 26.00 for a "permanent " sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I buy city bags and leave one bag of trash per week on my moms curb along w/my recyclables. Average cost is $5.85 for 5 weeks. I work in Bing area anyway so it's convenient and the cheapest way to go for me. I wont pay Burt Adams their expensive fees. Outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may get sued if one of them guys gets hurt while they are returning the cans! I am not willing to take that chance! Not neccesarily true. You would be at fault if you do not keep up your property, or there are hidden dangers such as loose steps or stones, broken concrete, etc... Then you would be liable if you failed to identify or post the danger, or failed to warn them about any danger. If they fall due to their own negligence, such as untied shoes, it is not your fault. They ride on the back of the trucks hanging on for dear life for God's sake! Injuries at Your Home and on Your Property: Under traditional legal principles, your liability to people injured on your property changed according to the reason they came onto your property. Were they there to visit, to sell, to solicit, to fix something, or to trespass? A more recent trend, however, holds land or property owners to a general duty of care to prevent injury to anyone coming onto their property, unless the dangerous condition was open and obvious. Q. A furniture delivery person was injured when he tripped over an electrical extension cord in my living room. Can he recover damages from me? A. He could sue, though it is not certain that he would win. As noted above, until recently your liability for someone’s personal injuries while at your home hinged on why he or she was there. If people were doing work for you, the law held that you had a special duty to make your home reasonably safe. In those situations, a court would have asked if the cord were dangerous to anyone who came into your living room, or was it only dangerous if someone moved your furniture? Did you warn the deliveryperson to watch out for the cord? Courts would need the answers to such questions to decide if you are liable to the deliveryperson. A growing trend would make you liable for the injury only if you failed to exercise a general duty of care. By the way, homeowner's insurance policies generally protect homeowners in cases such as these. Q. A door-to-door salesperson tripped on our front steps, injuring himself. May he hold me responsible? A. Perhaps. A door-to door salesperson may expect that you will warn him about dangerous conditions on your property that may not be obvious. If your steps were in perfect condition and he merely lost his footing, a court would not hold you responsible. However, if he tripped because one of the stairs was wobbly and you knew about it, you should have repaired it or posted a warning sign. Q. What if a salesperson, or another passerby, falls on an icy sidewalk in front of my house? A. In some places, ordinances say that landowners whose property is next to a public sidewalk are responsible for keeping the sidewalk in repair and clear of ice and snow. But elsewhere owners have no duty to remove natural accumulations of ice and snow that have collected on adjacent public sidewalks. In fact, they may be liable for negligence if they undertake such a job and do not make the sidewalks safe. If landowners fail to take reasonable action to correct a dangerous condition on the sidewalk, other than a natural accumulation of ice or snow, that they knew or should have known about, however, they can be held liable. Q. Would I be liable if a trespasser gets injured on my property? A. You generally are not liable for any injury to a trespasser on your property. Suppose, however, that you know certain people continually trespass on your property, perhaps using it as a shortcut. Then a court might find that you should have notified these regular trespassers about any hidden artificial conditions of which you were aware could seriously injure them. Q. A group of eight-year-old children has been playing in a vacant lot that I own. Could I be liable if one of them gets injured? A. Yes, the law generally places a greater burden on landowners when injuries involve children. The reason is that children are too young to understand or appreciate danger in certain situations. Under a legal theory known as the attractive nuisance doctrine, owners who knew or should know about potentially dangerous artificial conditions on their lot must warn children who are playing there, or must take reasonable precautions to protect them. If, for example, there is machinery or other equipment on your vacant lot that could present an unreasonable risk to children, you should remove it. If you don't, you could very well be liable to the children for any injuries they suffer, even if they were trespassing. In some jurisdictions, the attractive nuisance doctrine is being replaced by a duty of reasonable care under the circumstances. Q. Our children's friends often come to swim in our backyard pool, even though we are not always able to be there. What if one of them gets hurt? A. You are liable because you have a legal duty to protect children from possible harm should they decide to play around a dangerous place on your property. You should make sure an adult is present when children are swimming, though this will not necessarily avoid liability. And warning the children that they should not swim without an adult present may not be enough to avoid liability if one of them gets injured. Also check with your state or city to find out its requirements for residential swimming pools. Under them, you may have a legal duty to erect barriers or such other protective features as an automatic pool cover, a tall fence with a good lock that you keep locked or an alarm on the sliding glass door from your home to the pool.
