San Francisco residents will see a bit of a refund on their upcoming Recology bills.

The trash collector has overcharged some $24M to its customers, who can expect an $18 annual refund for two years.

“This is one that, quite honestly, we missed."

It’s local journalism awards season! @SPJ_NorCal deadline is this Wednesday and @SF_PressClub is mid October. I’d love to see more neighborhood news and college news submissions! See you at the award parties :)

@BrokeAssStuart Maybe I have a soft spot for tiny local education nonprofits, but I hope we aren’t tearing down the few orgs trying to help public schools, at a time when local education reporting has really let San Franciscans down. Better reporting could have helped us avoid this situation too

[Julia Gitis @SFReadersChoice]

Wow this shirt got a lot of love at tonight’s journalism mixer at @KALW. :)
Thx for organizing @EskSF and thx for hosting @BentIdeas !
Good seeing friendly faces @lilalahood @BrokeAssStuart @Blogowitz @Meaghan_M and let’s chat soon @FitzTheReporter ! #printthenewsandraisehell

I investigated the Yellowstone Club, a private resort in Montana where ultra-wealthy business leaders and celebrities own homes. Last summer, I hiked three miles up the Gallatin River where I found wastewater pouring into the river from the club’s golf course. 🧵
