Lobby for smaller bins

Sun., Nov. 18, 2012

Today, I contacted Waste Management about my humongous 96-gallon recycle container. I asked if they would have something smaller because it would take me a year or more to fill the can, and it was just too large. Apparently, others have called as well.

I was told that they are considering something smaller and to call back after the first of January. I would encourage everyone that feels as I do to contact Waste Management and let them know that smaller containers would be more practical and easier to handle.

Someone wasn’t thinking when they chose these overly large recycle containers.
