BEWARE OF AREA DISPOSAL TRUCKS AND THEIR DRIVERS!!!
My wife and I were loyal Area Disposal customers for roughly 20 years until their drivers caused extreme damage in the gravel roads in Cave Creek leading to our home, due to excessive speeds.
Their drivers also caused an unsafe environment for cyclists, horseback riders, dogs and wildlife.
Area Disposal Business Owner, Donna S. stated their trucks are equipped with GPS that track speeds and location for safety purposes and their data shows the trucks were operating within the designated speed limits. Yet, she never stated the actual speed they tracked and it is well known that poor satellite geometry, atmospheric conditions and the quality of the GPS receiver proves GPS is not always accurate. In addition, she never stated GPS data can be manipulated through a technique known as GPS spoofing, where false GPS signals are transmitted.
My wife and I, and our neighbors witnessed the trucks' speeds first hand and most of us have CCTV cameras that capture and record the trucks' activity, but Donna S. insisted CCTV footage does not measure vehicle speed while making a commitment to "remind the drivers to use added caution and reduce speed on gravel roads whenever possible."
We responded, "We look forward to Donna S. continuing her commitment to remind the drivers to use added caution and reduce speed on gravel roads."
However, the next day, Donna S. informed us, "As we are unable to meet your expectations, we will be discontinuing service to your location."
AS A RESULT, WE HAVE A NEW SERVICE THAT HONORS THE ACTUAL SPEED LIMITS THAT ARE POSTED AND ANYONE WHO USES AREA DISPOSAL SHOULD BE AWARE THAT OUR BILL WITH THE NEW SERVICE IS 35% LESS THAN AREA DISPOSAL!!!
