(1) Burn all paper, boxes and wood. Do not put trees and weeds in the dumpsters. This was done at the courthouse recently and is done at Scrabble School almost every week. Contractors should not use the dumpsters in disposing refuse from new construction or rehabilitation projects. Proper disposal of refuse of this type falls under the contractor’s cost of doing business and should not take up dumpster space. The county cannot afford to subsidize private business ventures.
(2) Remove the tops and bottoms of all tin cans and mash them flat. This is important because it makes a dramatic change in the space the can takes up. If the above steps are taken the volume of a normal soup can may be reduced more than six times. The reduction in volume is one way to make a big impact on our trash problem. The following aluminum cans have monetary value: Miller High Life, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Carling Black Label, Budweiser and Coors.
(3) Break all glass containers put in dumpsters.
(4) Do not put wet garbage in the trash containers. This is in violation of the county ordinance published elsewhere in the Rappahannock News. Put your garbage on your Compost pile.
In most areas of county financial affairs, the ordinary citizen does not have the opportunity to cause savings to be made. However, in the disposal of refuse everyone can help. Your action on this problem means dollars in your pocket.
