| Mr Norton at city hall must love this one. Its going to force people to recycle if they only get 1 barrel. It'll keep the street a little cleaner too. No more plastic bags by the curb getting ripped apart by dogs, racoons and people looking for bottles to return. |

| Heard yesterday that our trash barrels are not ready to roll out just yet, does this surprise anyone? Maybe they didn't get much of a kick back? |

| Let me ask. The trash program is starting on Monday, so where are our barrels? Just a fair question, since city hall is closed today. Went all the way down there this morning and no sign on the door. So how long is this going on for now, what our taxes don't pay enough? |
