They respond to any needs and <br />questions I have quickly and satisfactorily. The owner has even returned our inquiries over the years, 3 times <br />now. Their service is excellent for trash and branch pick up. I do net want to lose them. <br />I cannot believe at this time of expanding population and growth that anyone would even consider the option of <br />single sort, which is known to add more to trash and less to reuse. No one wants a landfill in their back yard. Hoer <br />can you guarantee that decomposition will keep up without starting more landfills, when we start adding extra <br />trash? our energy - producing trash - burning plant is running at its capacity now, and is not keeping up with the <br />trash sent there today (these are words directly from my garbage hauler)l <br />Separating my recyclables allows me to contribute to the preservation of my environment.,,free of charge. I want <br />to do it. It is one way I can give back to the earth for sustaining me and letting me enjoy its beauty. It gives me <br />satisfaction. <br />Separating my recyclables shows me what types of things can be reused. This directly impacts my buying <br />and consumption practices (l check the bottoms of plastic bottles, I use paper bags, I give clothing and household <br />items to charities... ). <br />Separating my recyclables, and composting, lets us get by with one of the small trash cans per week. I feel good <br />about that. <br />I've lived here since 1 977 and have yet to replace my bin. The cost of bins cannot be a factor when it is spread <br />over 26 years. <br />i have called waste Management twice about their trucks throwing garbage all over the road (each truck has a <br />truck number). It flies out of the top of their trucks. They don't portray a very environmentally conscientious <br />establishment. <br />I intend not to use waste Management haulers, and I plan to sort my recyclables and take them to a center <br />myself if this comes to pass. I then believe I have the right not to be charged for the single sort service if it goes <br />into effect. <br />Regards, <br />Diana Lieffring <br />9/10/2003 <br />
