Allied Donates to Library

Allied Waste Services, which is currently grappling with MarBorg Industries for lucrative South Coast trash contracts, donated $4,000 to the Goleta Library this week. The money, said company reps, is to help the location with funding it needs in the wake of severe budget cuts. “The Goleta Library is one of the community’s most important institutions,” said Stephen MacIntosh, general manager of Allied Waste. More than 1,000 people reportedly visit the facility every day.
