Should City of Pensacola give sanitation customers rebates

   May 9, 2018

Since Oct. 1, 2017, the City of Pensacola’s Sanitation Services has collected its customers recycling every week and dumped the recyclables at the Perdido Landfill instead of actually recycling them, and the city will continue to do so, at least, through June.

The cost savings of dumping the recyclables with the regular trash could be rebated to the customers.

According to the FY 2018, the annual budget for recycling is $983,800. The city could divide half of the budget among its 19,535 customers and give each $25.18 — which is almost equivalent to a month’s free service.
