Dear Editor,
To the voters of Independence and the village concerning the push for a single hauler system. My experience dealing with it says stay away from it and continue with what we have. I have dealt with Rochester/Rochester Hills trying to discontinue service at my mother’s home after her entry into memory care. For two and a half years I was paying for an unused service and was told by GFL and Rochester Hills there was not any way to stop billing. Nine months after her death I am still paying while the house awaits the trust settlement! So if you take extended vacations or winter somewhere else like Florida or Arizona discontinuing that bill does not appear likely.
