  3. Wow, while at a previous council meeting during the winter, they mentioned that they’ve been having problems with yard, waste collection, cans being too heavy, and in the past, they had employees that have been injured. So they are looking into how can they address this issue of making the cans lighter. Obviously some residents are out of control with weight control. Obviously the individuals putting thumbs down. Don’t know the situation that happened occurring. You need to get your information in order. I don’t know who you’re listening to, but obviously they’re giving you wrong information.

  4. It is amazing how some of these residents over load, sanitation, recycling, yard waste, cans with no record of who’s picking these cans up. Some do care, some just don’t.
