== Waste Management ==

== Trash Collection ==
[http://www.wm.com/index.jsp Waste Management] empties the dumpster Tuesday afternoons and some other day late in the week (citation needed.) We are billed for waste management <on some frequency.> Do '''not''' overfill the dumpster. If the lid won't close, Waste Management won't pick it up. Leaving bags of trash inside the back door works well; someone (hopefully you) will put them in the dumpster when it's empty.

Waste Management of Illinois provides the dumpster for refuse removal. The Management Service Center phone # is 866-834-2080. Our local rep is Andrew Hornbeck. Ahornbec@wm.com. Phone (630)652-9626 Fax (866)833-3245

There is no recycling pickup. Waste Management supposedly sorts the trash. There is no room for recycling bins in the alley, due to parking spots.
+
We are billed for waste management monthly. Bill payment is automatic via ACH. ACH payments have a tendency to break whenver we make changes to the Chase Account. The cost for three times per week is $175.

=== Pro Tips: Trash ===

They empty the dumpster 3 times per week.

Do '''not''' overfill the dumpster. If the lid won't '''close all the way completely flat''', Waste Management will not pick it up. Leaving bags of trash inside the back door works well; someone (hopefully you) will put them in the dumpster when it's empty.

There is no recycling pickup. Waste Management supposedly sorts the trash. They refer to it as passive recycling. They pull out the stuff they can find on the conveyor to sell. There is no room for recycling bins in the alley, due to parking spots. If that were to change the cost to add a 96 gallon recycling toter (Big Blue Recyling bins that look like a trash can) serviced twice per week would be about $230.

Do not put electronic waste in the dumpster.

Do not put hazardous waste in the dumpster.

Do not put paint in the dumpster without using a hardener powder for paint disposal. It's really cheap at home depot.
    
If you accidentally leave metal out near the dumpster, scrap faeries will take it -- so be careful. Items like CRTs may be broken for just the metal bits, so don't leave them out there.

=== Splitting the Bill ===

== Electricity ==
 +
Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) is our electricity provider. The bill is in the name of Tony Khouri, our landlord, his office is next door.
    +
==== '''Splitting the Bill''' ====
 
We split the bill with the landlord using some sort of formula that is stored in a spreadsheet in a google drive folder. The formula should be made public.

Historically a lot of mistakes have been made in paying the electric bill both by ps1 and by the landlord, so keeping a detailed record of figurings is important to make it simpler to fix confused mistakes later.
