Dear editor,
I鈥檓 guilty of not paying attention to local elections, but not anymore.
We were told the new garbage/recycle pick-up service would reduce the overall cost; it actually went up by more than 30 per cent. The garbage container is half the size and now picked up bi-weekly instead of weekly.
I get the issue with the landfill. However, does the town get the issue of having two small children in diapers? And no, I won鈥檛 store soiled diapers in my freezer until the next pick-up.
The Town of Comox is offering a cart change service (additional or larger containers) at $35. Struggling with inflation, debt and a high-interest mortgage coupled with property tax increases makes living in Comox a tight rope act.
A bit more consultation before implementing new programs would be appreciated.
Grant Edwards,
Comox
