Mayor's Bulletin Trash Survey

At the end of the Mayor's Bulletin is a survey on Recycling.  This is a topic near and dear to my heart.  I believe we have 2 additional options not covered by the Survey
-purchase a subsidized container from the Village (some bulk discount oppty)
-purchase a non-subsidized container on your own

Original Survey Qs:
-Using the open 18-gallon bins that are collected from behind the house
-Using a 65-gallon recycling cart on wheels with lid that would be emptied from behind the house but would result in an increase in the annual waste collection fee of approximately $25 per household
-Using a 65-gallon recycling cart on wheels with lid that would be collected at the curb but would allow the annual waste collection fee to remain the same

We are a leader in the County and would like to see that continue.  Bigger volume cans is a great start - its a psychological phenomenon called Abundance Mentality.  And it works!  More recycling results.

I'm looking fwd to working with Mary Ann who will likely own the Trash contract in 2014.  I chatted with her briefly, and her perspective from the Historic District will be very valuable as well.
