Recycling

Caught someone repeatedly stealing from his recycling cans and found the fine is only $25-$100 — called for real enforcement, crediting Latona's tax-free help and Tom Whittles.

Said large families in the Rosemar section will struggle with recycling frequency and container sizes, and supported reservation-only bulk pickup.

Questioned what consultants DeFeo and Triad are being paid, whether bid specs include KPIs, and whether the recycling center is open to commercial users.

Warned about social media posts encouraging rat poisoning that harms pets, and urged better recycling to save the city money.

Disputed claims about recycling rates in the Rosemawr section and read the recycling guide into the record.

Suggested city-supplied first carts with paid subscriptions for extras, a scrap steel dumpster at the recycling center, and separate blue recycling carts.
