I've seriously wondered about this. Tell us more. Do you just act as a private middleman to get things to the dump? Do you sort or resell?

- AndrewKemendo 2y agoYes it’s a private subscription based hauler like like Waste Connection, Waste Management etc… However, we’re only ever going to do residential because the goal is to grow ownership of waste infrastructure to employees of the cooperative and cooperators, as well as homeowners with returns on their recycling and any other services Eventually, the goal is to provide all community services, including banking and general services that you would expect a city to provide. Currently none of the governments in the United States are functional enough to provide the services necessary at broad enough scale, so we’re bootstrapping it ourselves
- DiggyJohnson 2y agoThis is fascinating. I love that your goal is to compete with the status quo US services and society without apology. Good luck!
- AndrewKemendo 2y agoThank you. We’re opinionated that we need to organize in order to create the structures that support everyone living fulfilled lives.
