Not that I was turned down, but the fact I was sent the notice in the first place. I received a notice in the mail, as did my neighbors, from our trash collection service, stating that if you qualified for reduced electric rates for low-income individuals by submitting our electric bill with the program noted on the bill, we could also receive reduced trash pickup rates. So, I sent in my electric bill with a note, as instructed in their letter, requesting that my trash pickup be reduced. I received a phone call today stating that I was turned down because I live in the town, not elsewhere in the county. The program applies to the rest of the county, but not in our town. My question is, why did they send out all these notices about the program to us in the town who do not qualify? I also want to know why all the other towns in the county are eligible, but ours is not, when all the trash goes to the same place. As the reduction in rates is only two dollars, it's not worth my energy to conduct further research.
