Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Tuesday, February 21, 2012 <br />Page 18 <br />Mr. Metzung can talk personally. I had the 18 gallon bin. We have since gone to the 64 gallon <br />cart. The cart is full. I didn't think I changed anything. The one thing that does change with our <br />new program is that all plastics are recyclable. You will find you will throw more cardboard into <br />the recycling bin. <br />Dr. Parker asked, it is like that right now, right? All plastics are recyclable at this point. <br />Mr. Metzung replied, with our program now, yes, with our last contract. <br />Dr. Pazker just thinks that for seniors which we have quite a few seniors and empty nesters, they <br />are going to have a hard time with a larger bin. <br />Mrs. Mills replied, no they're not because the yellow bin is very hazd to take to the curb. They <br />have tried to devise putting ropes on them to pull them. <br />Dr. Parker stated, it's going to be heavier. It's going to take up more space in the garage. <br />Mrs. Mills replied, no it's not, it's going to be on wheels. Why would it be heavier? <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, I would like to interject here because this is just going <br />around from personal opinion to personal opinion. <br />Dr. Parker stated, that's all we have though Bill. We don't have a survey or anything like that. <br />Council President Buckholtz replied, yes we do. We have a Service Director that's telling us that <br />he's studied the numbers from other cornmunities. You can azgue that but it's not his personal <br />opinion. We went through this at Caucus. That's the purpose of Caucus. You were at Caucus <br />right? <br />Mrs. Mills replied, and we talked about it at Caucus and Finance Caucus and Finance <br />Committee. <br />Mr. Marrie confirmed. We covered it in Finance Caucus and also tonight. <br />Mr. Metzung asked, Council President? This doesn't need to be passed tonight. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, that's what I was just going to ask. <br />Mr. Metzung replied, it's Council's pleasure: I will get the County Solid Waste District to weigh <br />in with what they know. She may even come to the next meeting to answer your question in that <br />regard. <br />Dr. Parker asked, it's not just recycling. It's important. I also have a problem with locking into a <br />5 year contract at this point and perhaps a 3 year contract would be better.
