Cloudburst trucks now use 99% Biodiesel

cloudburst — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 21:42:46 +0000

As of May 2011, our trucks are fueled with 99% Biodiesel made from used cooking oils. This is a very clean burning fuel. And it’s made from a recycled feedstock.
Cloudburst offers waste cooking oil collection services for local restaurants. We love the closed circle concept: We run our recycling trucks on fuel made from a resource we collect for recycling.
If you need oil collection, contact us, and help us meet our goal of collecting all the oil we need to fuel our trucks!

cloudburst — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 23:24:52 +0000

We are pleased to offer you the option of paying your Cloudburst bill through automatic withdrawal from your checking account. Our Auto Pay Plan is free, easy, convenient and the environmentally friendly way to pay your bill.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES?
• Cost – No more postage to pay or envelopes to buy.
• Convenience – Your bill is paid automatically
• Freedom – Your bill is paid on-time, every time, never late, never a late fee.
• Resource Conservation – no more checks, envelopes, or paper bills. Reduces paper– and reduces fuel consumption and carbon emissions for postal handling and transport.
• Security – No need to worry about lost checks

HOW DOES IT WORK?
On a specific date each month for commercial customers (every other month for residential customers) the amount due on your account will be automatically deducted from your checking account.

CAN I CANCEL AUTO PAY LATER?
Yes. Simply notify us in writing thirty (30) days before your account is scheduled for payment. Once Auto Pay is canceled, we will resume regular mailed billing.

WILL I CONTINUE TO RECEIVE A BILL IN THE MAIL?
NO statement will be sent, UNLESS your account has been charged for extra service. IF your account has been charged for extra service, we will send you a bill. The bill will indicate “AUTO DEDUCT”. This will allow you about 10 days to call us so we can resolve any questions you may have. Otherwise, the amount due will automatically be withdrawn from your account.

HOW DO I ENROLL?
Your authorization is all we need. Just fill out the Authorization Form on our website. Fill it out, save it to your computer, then print it, and mail it to us along with a voided check. We cannot accept deposit slips to set up Auto Pay.

Cloudburst Goes Solar

cloudburst — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 19:18:24 +0000

Cloudburst’s new 23.9 kW Solar Photovoltaic system went live June 11, 2010. We expect to generate nearly two thirds of the electrical power consumed at our facility each year. Generating Clean Power we will reduce our carbon output. Any power we generate in excess of what we use on site will flow back onto the electrical grid for public use.
This is a major step in our Energy Self-Sufficiency Plan. We also collect enough waste vegetable oil from our restaurant customers to produce biodiesel equivalent to two thirds of the fuel consumed by our collection fleet.
We are proud of these accomplishments.

Residential Services Overview

cloudburst — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:19:06 +0000

RESIDENTIAL SERVICE:

Cloudburst serves parts of Irvington, Laurelhurst, Buckman, Kerns, and Sunnyside neighborhoods.

There are many service levels for residential service.

ROLLCARTS FOR GARBAGE: Cloudburst provides rollcarts for garbage in 3 sizes: 35 gallon, 60 gallon, or 90 gallon on request.

These convenient rollcarts have large wheels and durable attached lids. If the cart breaks or wears out due to normal wear and tear, we will replace it at no charge.

GARBAGE CANS: There are two garbage can sizes that the customer may provide: 20 gallon “minican” or 32 gallon. Larger cans are not allowed. There are weight limits for each can size. Overweight cans may not be collected.

RECYCLING AND YARD DEBRIS ROLLCARTS: Cloudburst also provides a 60 gallon rollcart for co-mingled recycling (except for glass which must be kept separate), and a 60 gallon rollcart for yard debris.

See Recycling Preparation requirements.

See Yard Debris Preparation requirements.

“Recycling Only” service is available, but does not include yard debris collection.

RESIDENTIAL RATES:

The City of Portland sets rates for all residential services. These rates are determined by an exhaustive examination of the costs of providing the services, which is conducted each year.

The value of recyclable materials collected and sold is used to partially offset the cost of providing the service. So, in effect, everyone gets credit for the value of all the recycling they sort out.

Rates are adjusted each July 1. All Portland haulers must provide the designated services at the City rates. (See attached Rate schedule for details.)

BILL PAYMENTS:

Electronic Bill Payment Available Now !! We offer an Automatic Withdrawal Payment Plan. Your payment is withdrawn automatically from your checking account each billing period. Our Auto Pay Plan is free, easy, convenient and the environmentally friendly way to pay your bill.

COLLECTION HOURS:

Residential Routes start at 6:00 am. Route sequence can vary for many reasons, so be sure your can is out by 6:00. If you forget to put your can out on time, give us a call and we can collect double your regular amount on your next regular collection day.

Neighborhood Cleanups

cloudburst — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:15:07 +0000

Cloudburst began doing Neighborhood Cleanup events in about 1980. We have probably done close to 300 Neighborhood Cleanups at this point. We can give you the benefit of our experience to help make your cleanup a success. Many Neighborhood Associations will only use Cloudburst as their Cleanup partner. We love your community minded volunteers! They help make Portland a vibrant, caring community.

SCHEDULING: We can usually only properly handle one Cleanup Event per weekend. If you would like to work with Cloudburst on you project, please contact us early and BEFORE you have fixed your date. We want to work with your group, but we may have already made commitments for certain dates .
