To the Editor:
I sent this email to Safety Harbor's
Mayor And City Council et al:
re: "Safety Harbor Recylers Say: Hello
Paper, Goodbye Glass"
(Front page article, September 2007 issue,
Tropical Breeze)
The abovementioned article states that as
of October 15, 2007, the City of Safety Harbor will no longer pick
up glass as part of the city's recycling program. I guess (please
note I used the word guess), the city has the right to reconfigure
the recycling program because I do not have the time to research
the city's ability to do a make-over.
OK. I estimate that approximately 40% of
my recycle "stuff" is glass. I think the residents of Safety Harbor
should get a 40% reduction on their recycling charge.
As a taxpayer, I have no problem with
paying for a service which I receive, but, I do require that I get
what I pay for. I know that the city will argue that the change was
mandated by conditions out of their control, etc. etc. BLAH, BLAH,
BLAH... I know what I can do... the city's garbage cans are large
enough to hold all my garbage as well as that which I used to
separate for recycling. PROBLEM SOLVED and one less thing I have to
do.
