i am all for clean air and making the environment better but the things California is making me do as a company isnt trying to help the air, its trying to put me and my dad out of business. a bill was passed saying special mufflers need to be put on all collection trucks. Being that we own and run a trash company all of our trucks fall under that category. So we pay the 20,000 + for each truck for a new special clean air muffler to be put on. Having about 14 trucks in our fleet this nearly broke us but we were still able to get it done. Now this clean air comity is saying theres a new rule. if there is more then 15 trucks in the entire city ( meaning including every trash company) all trucks must be replaced with new natural gas trucks which cost over 300,000 dollars each. there is no way we can afford to do this. we cannot compete with company's as big as Waste Management. and when we went to a public hearing and told them this is putting all small business out of business they dont care at all they just say, " well dont you want clean air for your kids". which we do but not at the cost of living on the streets. sorry i just had to vent because the stress is really getting to me.
