Recycling Committee makes changes to PAYT proposal

During the committees August meeting discussion concluded in the vote to change the committees proposal from a sticker to a bag program. The cost for a 33 gallon bag will be $2.00 and a $1.00 for 15 gallon bag. The primary reason for the change is to utilize the capabilities of Waste Zero as our vendor to supply and distribute bags. Waste Zero will set up the distribution network with local stores and collect and maintain accounts. Another factor was the $1.00 dollar charge for the small bag which some members felt was a good compromise for residents on fixed incomes. We also received more positive response for the bag option from residents than the sticker option.
