Well, tomorrow night is the big vote on whether we franchise our trash or not.  It should be a very interesting discussion.

I firmly believe this is the right thing to do for so many reasons. 

1. Decrease wear and tear on our roads - See previous post for more on this.

2.  This is single stream recycling which has been proven to be the most effective way to get people to go green. A single

stream system means you only wash the items out, no need for sorting, no putting separate tubs out on trash day, you

just roll the cart out every other week.

3. Reduce Air pollution- Less trucks- Less fuel used- less pollution.

4.  Reduce Costs-- this will be done in a number of ways, the costs to City Facility's for service will be reduced, but more importantly

All Derby Citizens will pay at most $ 44.25 per quarter and that will include the recyling, if you are able to use the smaller trash cart

your price will be 38.25 per month.

5. Recycle Bank which is a program that basically pays you for the more you recycle and they keep track of it for you. Click on the name 

and it will take you to the web site to check it out yourself.

6. IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO for ourselves, our children, our future. 

Please contact your councilman- I can say man, because I am still at this point the only woman- and let them know how you feel on this issue. 

So let's hope everyone is on board at this point, if not then we should not have had staff spend all the time they have on it up to this point. We unanimously approved the Trash Boards recommendation to proceed with a Single Franchise with Recycling.
