REPUBLIC SERVICES’ NOTE ON RECYCLING
IN ROLLING HILLS
Per Republic Services, “Rolling Hills waste and recycling is
collected together and sorted after it leaves the City, so
source separating has not been necessary here.
Because of the unique manual collection style, residents
have been required to use their own containers weighing
60lbs or less. Recycle containers or automated carts do
not articulate with the type of trucks used in the City and
so are not offered here.”
FRONTIER GOVERNMENTAL LIAISON
The recent rainstorms have caused prolonged service
interruptions in the community, specifically services
provided by Frontier Communications. Frontier
Communications recently hired a Vice President of
External Affairs, Doug McAllister to work with local
government to understand and meet service needs. If
you are experiencing service outage or interruptions,
please contact Mr. McAllister at doug.mcallister@ftr.com
or (951) 970-4254 for assistance.
