Bad idea in my opinion!   People should be letting our City Council know how they feel about this one, before it is too late.  

 

Call City Council, e-mail the @large including your district rep and say NO.

 

E-mails are at Charmeck.org under City Council page.   We also have the contacts and e-mails for the @large and district on this web site under links. 

 

City barely can get the waste removed these days.   How are they gong to keep up with how many bags you put in your trash can?   What's to prevent someone from throwing trash in your can?   Too many potential issues.

 

Recycling is great, and more people should be doing it.  It helps keep the overall cost of waste removal down, and is good for the environment.   Pay as your Throw is a lame idea in my opinion.   

 

Just like when the city changed how we pay for water.  I pay more now than when it was the old method of billing. I  don't use hardly any water each month.
