Thanks to the Boulder County Commissioners, Ben Pearlman, Will Toor and Cindy Dominico, starting July 16th I will have 3 trash carts in my garage. One (formerly) 96 gallon for trash, one 64 gallon for single stream recycling and finally one 32 gallon for compostables. I should send the commissioners a bill for space in my garage.
We are already recycling quite diligently every week and don’t need any help from the County, thank you very much. Compostables, well most of it, would be grass after weed-eating. That’s much more than is allowed by the County. Guess I’ll just cut it and let it lay on the ground.
Thankfully Western Disposal will pick up the extra carts if we don’t want to use them. They will be the real losers in this deal, at least in our case. We used their 96 gallon trash service, not for the amount of trash but so they would take grass and tree limbs. Now we’re reducing to 32 gallon trash and our bill will fall by about $72 per year.
You can keep up with Boulder County recycling efforts here.
Micromanaging is the expertise of all areas of Boulder County government. Keep up the great work Commissioners.
I’m proud to say I registered as a Democrat during the primaries to vote against every Commissioner that had a challenger in the appropriate primary. Naturally, I changed my voter registration back to non-affiliated as quickly as possible.
