  I just found out today, Waste Management are trying to
bill Sudo Room (and
 therefore BAPS) for 2 extra recycling bins and one extra green-waste bin
 that we don't have.
 That is, WM thinks we have always had 3x 96gal recycling bins and 2x 64gal
 green-waste bins in all. Whereas Sudo/BAPS have only ever had 1x 96gal
 recycling, and 1x 64gal green waste bin (* technically our green bin is
 also 96gal, but since WM apparently didn't actually have any 64gal-sized
 bins, they just give us the 96gal and charge us for 64gal.)
 So far as I can tell, what happened is: WM assigned an additional, second
 recycling+green waste account to Sudo, that is not ours. This additional
 secondary bill is past due ~4 mo to the tune of ~$500.
 This bogus bill was not visible to us online, and I only found out about
 it today after getting hit up by WM's collection department on the phone,
 whereupon I asked them to email me copies of the invoices.
 After looking the bogus bill over, today at around 12noon, I called WM
 back and wrangled with the billing dept phone rep "Christopher", who
 generated a *Case ID # 2377511* for the accounting department to "review"
 this screw-up. Although it's not hard to see the error, as it is a second
 bill for twice as many recycling bins at the same address for the same time
 period.
 Therefore, before interfacing with WM, please take note of the following
 information:
 Sudo room's CORRECT recycling and green waste account # (paid in full
 through Nov):
  *699-0009853-2216-3*  (<-- right)
 This other INCORRECT recycling/green account, misattributed to Sudo:
  065-4415376-2216-5  (<-- wrong)
 SUDO/BAPS'ERS: DO NOT EVER PAY THIS ACCOUNT.
 Attached are the two different recycling+greenwaste invoices for the month
 of October - one labelled *correct* (and paid), and one labelled
 *incorrect* (unpaid). If you talk to WM, please refer to these. I know
 these aren't the latest bills, but it's simpler to discuss them with WM
 without referring past due amounts.
 For the record, Sudo has a separately-billed WM account just for the
 *garbage*, which is: 065-4415386-2216-4. The garbage account has thus far
 not been confused, just the recycling/green.
 Best,
 David
