Had a call from the Palm Springs Disposal Service a couple of days ago. "Hello, this is the Palm Springs Disposal Service. Do you know who we are?" No, I said, are you the people who read the gas meter?? Honestly, do I know who they are? Am I stupid? Anyhow I was told that it had come to light due to some rigorous review that we had been undercharged by A LOT over the last 13 years and that our new monthly collection fee would be going from $56.10 each month to ... drum roll ... wait for it ... $244.80!!!!! LOL. Anyhow, he agreed they would take away 5 of the new trash cans to reduce our monthly payment to $122.40, still double what we have been paying for the last 13 years. . We agreed on a day when they would be collected. Were they? Of course not. It took an e-mail and another day before they turned up. Talk about ineptitude!! Well done Gas Meter Readers!
