Los Angeles continues move toward trash-hauler franchising

This article originally published in my weekly column for the Valley News Group of papers (San Fernando Valley, California).

The Los Angeles City Board of Public Works continues to recommend to the Mayor and City Council that that the City be divided up into 11 waste-hauling districts and that one company be exclusively licensed to pick up trash in each district. The City would set the rates the licensees could charge. Supporters of the proposal argue that this system would enable the City to keep better track of environmental and safety violations that may occur with respect to each hauler.

Opponents of the recommendation argue that the new proposed franchise system will create an expensive bureaucracy. Opponents further argue that the proposal, if implemented, will favor the big haulers and discriminate against the small haulers, because the latter will be unable to implement all of the environmental/safety safeguards at the prices set by the City.

Whether you favor or oppose the Board of Public Works’ proposal, now is the time to weigh in with your opinion by contacting your City Councilmember to let your view be known. Also, the United Chambers of Commerce’s Government Affairs Committee is scheduled to discuss the Board of Public Works’
recommendation at its February 27, 2012 meeting in Sherman Oaks. Call Marian Jocz, United Chambers’ Executive Director, at (818) 981-4491, for meeting details.

Awesome! Great idea and a great format! Maybe down the road you can take a cesolr look ((a really cesolr look (inside accounts & case studies, etc)) at what happens when entrenched and change averse corp cultures collide w/ disruptive technologies or event/individual game changers. I recently attended a G Tech Exec MBA class on the subject of innovation. Prof spent 4 hrs leading a discussion on how Immelt tried to introduce a way of doing business that embraced innovation and imagination breakthroughs in the face of Welch and GE's culture of metrics and well planned project timelines. Innovation always involves a bit of a gamble, so GE has definitely had some growing pains associated w/ the new way of doing things. A really cool conversation! Anyway, thanks for carrying the torch so to speak and for providing a forum.

Very interesting post. Thanks for the information!

[Steam Shower Kit]

I agree there is a good debate here. Private companies can be hit or miss im curious to how this will end.

[Orlando Defense Attorney]

Other factors need to be considered as well. For example, how many jobs is this going to create? I see both sides. tough argument. look forward to seeing how this plays out.
