Thanks Mr. Long,
While I can appreciate that there is not manpower and that additional
staff would cost additional dollars, I have to say that I am disappointed
that the items picked up are just going to be trashed. I am sure that many
items should be and I do appreciate that we have the swap shop however,
knowing this I am not in favor of this new plan.
Since we are supposedly going to be testing it out, I think we should
discuss this perhaps at one of our upcoming meetings.
Sorry if I am out of the loop, perhaps you all already knew that this
was the plan from the get go.
Nancy Cox
