This is an election year for Mayor, Town Council and School Committee. This is your chance to decide who will be the leaders of our Town. If you are not registered to vote, get yourself over to the Town Clerks office between the hours of 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM on the days the Town Hall is open, and register to vote. It is not only your right to vote, it is your responsibility to vote.
And now a word about recycling. Did you ever wonder what becomes of the recyclable material that is collected every week? It is sent to a recycling center and the Town is paid per ton for it. Yes, their is money that comes back to the Town for the residents recycling effort. If you think the Town invest in trash instead of anything else, it is because of the volume of all that is collected, 70% is trash and 30% is recyclable material. If those numbers were reversed, a lot more money would be returned to the Town. According to an article in the Patriot Ledger in October 2010, 19,952 tons of trash were picked up and 3,258 tons of recyclable materials were collected. 17,800 households have municipal trash pick up.
To those who recycle, thank you.
That is all I have to report at this time.
