Waste Managment Threatens Closure Of Oracle Transfer Station As Big Bosses Day "Shut It Down"!3/10/2023 Waste Management local managers delivered a threat message from their big bosses at yesterday's meeting at the Oracle Community Center (OCC). They want the Oracle Transfer Station closed now but (guess what?), we'll leave it open for a month. Call it a momentary corporate two cop routine with corporate honchos playing the bad cop and local managers playing the good cop. Surely their end game is not squeezing a few more bucks out of their recycling operation. Duh!  How the Oracle Transfer Station used to look back in the day A big group of Oracle residents did themselves proud with precise questions trying to get to the heart of the matter. Mike Weasner weighed in with an especially clever observation by breaking down the $15 dollar fee for a 1,000 pound load into dollars and cents for a typical amount of cardboard and glass delivered by a typical use. "I'll write that down," said one of the WM guys.
If Waste Management follows through on the shut down threat, Pinal County officials will have some big legal issues thrown in their lap; not to mention lots of pissed off local residents, taxpayers and voters. Pinal County has statutory obligations and institutional commitments made more than a decade ago to deal with; and judging from the brain power in evidence yesterday Oracle folks are likely to get very creative.

AuthorKaz and I moved to Oracle in 1979. The house we bought dated to the late 1940s. With little advance knowledge of the place, we set out to build a new life together, intending to settle in and raise a family.
