Hi Neighbor:
We have some VERY EXCITING and IMPORTANT news to share with you from your SID Board! Soon you will be receiving a letter from Papillion Sanitation regarding SID #255 contracting to provide trash service to our neighborhood starting April 1, 2021. The contract was originally awarded to Premier Waste Solutions which has since been acquired by Papillion Sanitation. In the meantime, you will be serviced with either Papillion Sanitation or Premier Waste Solution trucks until Papillion Sanitation has the trucks switched over.
As your Board, we are constantly looking for ways to reduce our taxes and save money for the homeowners. Due to a relatively recent law the Nebraska Legislature passed we have the ability to hire a single trash service company, which will mean significant savings to you the homeowner – see savings details below.
After receiving bids, we have determined the best trash provider for SID #255 is Papillion Sanitation.
Benefits:
Ø We are estimating that each resident will save on your current trash cost.
Ø The monthly cost for service paid by SID 255 will be $13.89 per month. This includes up to 3 - 95-gallon carts; one for trash, one for recyclables, and one for yard waste, except extraordinarily large items that do not fit in a bin will be your personal responsibility. You do not need to accept all three bins and should notify them if you don’t want all three as there is a charge to retrieve any unwanted bins if you don’t notify Papillion Sanitation prior to delivery.
Ø Assuming you cancel your existing service, you will no longer receive your regular bill for trash, as it will be paid by the SID and recaptured through property taxes.
Ø The costs for trash service should now also be tax deductible just like the rest of your property taxes.
What you need to KNOW:
Ø Papillion Sanitation will be delivering your new containers. If you do not want all 3 containers, you MUST follow the steps below.
IMPORTANT: Two things you MUST DO
STEP 1: If you do not currently have Premier Waste Solutions/Papillion Sanitation, you will need to cancel your current trash service to be discontinued as of March 31, 2021. There may be a little bit of overlap with individual billing cycles that will have to be worked through.
STEP 2: If you do not want all 3 containers, you MUST let Papillion Sanitation know as soon as possible. You can call customer service at 402-346-7800.
As a homeowner, you are not required to use the neighborhood trash service and you may continue to use your own selected private contractor. This simply means you will not take advantage of the cost savings and benefits listed above. However, irrespective of whether or not you participate, the SID will be paying for the service for your address.
With any new service, it is anticipated that there will be some hiccups along the way. Any issues with your trash service should be directed to Papillion Sanitation customer service at 402-346-7800.
Sincerely,
Board of Trustees of SID #255
