“Dear PoPville,
I am part of a 7-unit condo building serviced by Republic Services for trash and recycling pick-up. We just learned that Republic Services is increasing our monthly rate over 3x (from $179 to $613). This is not resulting in any increase in services but they are claiming “The prior owner [Tenleytown Trash] received major discounts at the dump sites which Republic Services do not.”
Such a large rate hike is absolutely absurd and not something our condo fees can absorb.
We are a small condo association, each unit is owned individually and about half are owner-occupied and the other half are rented out. No one wants to see condo fees or rents increased. I’m wondering if other small condo associations in DC are dealing with this too and what recourse do we have? I’m trying to negotiate Republic Services down, but not sure how successful we’ll be. Are there other decent trash services that other residents can recommend?”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
