Aloha Ruta, and thank you for your letter. Under curbside recycling, you would have two trash containers, a gray one, like we have now, and a blue one for recyclables. The gray one you would have to pay for. The bigger the container, the more it will cost. But the blue one would be free. So the more you recycle, the easier it is on your checkbook.
Let’s get behind curbside. It’s a win-win-win. We put less trash in our landfill which helps our environment, the county saves landfill costs, and we get a chance to save our hard earned $$..
