Pawtucket Recycles ~ December 2, 2009

From WasteZero:

Pawtucket Needs Your Help....TONIGHT!

Rhode Island's leading environmentalists agree that implementing a pay-as-you-throw system is the single best way to reduce solid waste and increase recycling.
 
Economists say pay-as-you-throw would save Rhode Island cities millions in annual disposal costs.
 
BUT...Pawtucket has not yet been convinced.
 
Here's how the Providence Journal described last week's public meeting on pay-as-you-throw:

Several of the 10 residents at the informational forum at Baldwin Elementary School, including City Councilman Jean Philippe Barros, made it clear that a fee system for garbage bags could prove a tough sell.

The next meeting to discuss the proposed plan for Pawtucket pay-as-you-throw is TONIGHT AT 7 PM.
 
Won't you show city leaders that local and state residents want a cleaner and safer Pawtucket NOW! Please show your support for pay-as-you-throw and Rhode Island's future by attending tonight's public meeting.


Tonight, Wed., Dec. 2 at 7:00 PM at Fallon Elementary School, 62 Lincoln Avenue
