Let's see. If one person in a house and it takes them 30 days to fill their recycle bin, they still have to lug it out every week to have their regular container picked up, rather than when filled once a month have it collected once a month, which would save taxpayers money. This new policy is counterproductive, Draconian, and costs the city more due to extra unnecessary pick-ups. With more people paying bills on line, eating out, traveling, fewer people per home, more reading news online and not purchasing news papers, why should we pay for truck fuel and added labor time to pick up what in some instances are may amount to mostly empty containers? Why require people to lug what in many cases will be a mostly empty container to the curb when their trash can be consolidated and picked up once a month as more fitting for some homes? Also, given it takes me and others I know, around a month to fill my/our recycle containers, I sometime combine my recyclables with my next door neighbor cutting in half the no of truck stops required. . I t seems to me if a resident and taxpayer pays their taxes they are entitled to have their trash collected. Not Draconian punishment as in "we won't pick up your main trash container if you don't put out a blue or green container" Another mayoral decision without a hearing not in the interest of constituents. This policy needs to be revisited as it can be made less confusing and more efficient.
