Re: Recycling
Gee, as I read the list of all those things that can be put in the recycling bag and then read that we need to buy the bags and have a small fee added to our monthly bills from the VCCDD, I wondered why there is no mention of a reduction in the monthly trash pick- up charge. I mean, currently those charges included all of the things that will now be recycled and I assume wont wind up at the tipping station and wont be sent to county landfill.
I see that we can place newspapers, soda and beer cans in our 13 gallon bags. Amazing that there have always been some organizations that derived income from collecting these things and never charged the residents, and these items will now be picked up and one would assume produce income along with the recycling fee.
Should we also expect that the recycling monthly add-on fee will also be impacted by increases in the CPI?
Guess there is money to be made in recycling and enough to spread around. But not enough to return it to the folks who are willing to recycle.
