It& #39;s an election year for @TownHanna which is likely the driving force behind Perinton& #39;s decision to finally address the contract with @WasteManagement...which has been expired for the better part of 3 years.
What is the community host benefit agreement? It& #39;s a contractual handshake between @TPerinton and @WasteManagement. The goal is to provide the residents of Perinton "benefits" at the high cost of hosting #HighAcres in their backyard.
To read the full draft agreement, go here: https://perinton.org/departments/public-works/high-acres-landfill/new-host-community-agreement/?fbclid=IwAR300x2uwCjWSvYXWxj8hIUyn3dW2xsQnBnkx_gI8LvWZ_3-8dW9ZWBrkG8">https://perinton.org/departmen...
You may be thinking; "Okay, sounds great for @TPerinton! What& #39;s the catch?!" Well, we are so glad you asked! Let& #39;s review the top 5 reasons this agreement is...messy.
5 - @TPerinton has worked property value protection into the agreement. But, for who? Where are these properties located? While 15% below market share is fair protection in a GOOD market, what about when the markets eventually change? #clearasmud
4 - @TPerinton doubles down in this agreement by outlining how a @WasteManagement run hotline is more accurate in identifying & #39;Actionable Odor Events& #39; than an app that provides real-time location and weather information directly to their inboxes.

3 - In 2019, a derailment caused trains full of trash to sit in Maryland for 3 weeks before showing up in @TPerinton. The result was horrendous odors in the community for 7+ days. The agreement mentions avoiding delays but there are no specifics to it. This is not sufficient.
2 - The agreement doesn& #39;t address the elephant in the room. Despite the widespread belief that the continuous odor issues at #HighAcres stem from the @TPerinton side of the landfill, there is no mention of capping and closure. This should be the town& #39;s number one priority.
1 - @TownHanna& #39;s math is very wrong. Despite promoting a reduction in #NYC waste at #HighAcres, this is written to actually INCREASE it by 54k tons

What can we do about this? Make your voices heard by filling out the town& #39;s response survey located at the link below. If no one speaks up, @TPerinton will happily pat themselves on the back and ignore this issue once again.
