Garbage Contract

The proposals from the three garbage firms vying for your dollars will be presented at the next City Council meeting this coming Monday, November 5, 2007.  The Council will be discussing the different criteria to be used to select the firm we go with – cost, recyclable programs offered, other options and may even decide on the firm that night.  This is  a 10-year contract, so speak now or forever (at least in the minds of my kids) hold your peace.  My vote would go to whichever firm’s proposal encourages/makes it easy for folks to recycle and compost more and produce less garbage.  Thanks to the heads-up from council-member Keating on this issue.
