Re: Twice Weekly Garbage Pickup
Let me voice our family's strong opposition to twice a week garbage pickup.
I concur with the survey mentioned in the December 5 Etobicoke Guardian that it is not needed and not wanted. In fact I
suggest the Works Committee should seriously consider biweekly pickup.
Increasing the frequency of pickup:
(i) is costly;
(ii) will create even more garbage; and
(iii) will hinder efforts made to date to encourage households to recycle and compost.
Your sincerely,
Gordon and Barbara Bonn
