YES, I certainly would. We try to recycle everything we can, but help getting rid of all the plastic and glass would be nice!

I can not believe anyone would be against this. Someone a few years back tried to get it going and it just fell flat on deaf ears. When your city can get paid for your trash it can only be a win-win situation.

"Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsiblity to bring that about?"
- Maurice Strong, founder of the UN Environment Programme

"A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation."
- Paul Ehrlich, Professor of Population Studies

"The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States. We can't let other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the US. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are."
- Michael Oppenheimer, Environmental Defense Fund

"Global Sustainability requires the deliberate quest of poverty, reduced resource consumption and set levels of mortality control."
- Professor Maurice King

"Childbearing should be a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license. All potential parents should be required to use contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing."
- David Brower, first Executive Director of the Sierra Club

"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill ... All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."
- Club of Rome, The First Global Revolution, pp.104-105

“Sacrilegious though this may sound, democracy is no longer well suited for the tasks ahead. The complexity and the technical nature of many of today’s problems do not always allow elected representatives to make competent decisions at the right time.” - Club of Rome

While I too embrace the concept of recycling I would like for everyone to be aware of the roots of the varous programs unfolded monthly before us of late.

If the public is to be asked to provide the startup capital for a public/private partnership recycling center through tax increases, and this is what the Democrat is being employed to promote, then the public should ask for detailed financial statements regarding disbursement of public funds, total tax subsidies to Waste Management, and an equitable return from any actual profits Waste Management collects. Above all, don't let your good intentions be turned into another taxpayer fleecing scam.

Enkikur, golly gee, thanks for the link. But surely we could have watch dogs in Natchez for such as this. Who did we vote for as city leaders? They're suppose to be our lifeguards aren't they? If so, then someone is not doing the job they were elected to do. But then again, that's typical in Natchez.

destiny, Waste Management is one of the primary sponsors for the Climate Change Initiative for the US Conference of Mayors. They are all over the place, one of the chosen partners for Agenda 21. If there is any money to be made out of recycling they will surely get a large chunk if not all of it.

It may be that the only way to do recycling is through them though, because recycling costs a lot to get started. I knew a family that had the contract for a whole county in Iowa and they had all the right equipment and still they just sort of scraped by. On top of that, two of their trucks were blown up by some guys from Chicago! hehe!

lol...Waste Management has 1674 subsidiaries!

No more taxes or service charges! I have had dealings with Waste Management before and overall, the Company and its Management is a JOKE!

do it right and there would be no more $ needed. just reassign the $ already being spent to take care of both. Recycling means less household garbage. Less household garbage should mean less household garbage pickups.

In the end, recycling will not be a democratic process. Most folks don't get it. A lot of folks won't get it. Some folks don't wanna get it. It's a sad but true tale.

it's all about making changes and differences in your life to make a difference in life.

freedom... just found out about this device that takes water from the atmosphere and converts it into pure drinking water. you can run it off of a solar panel they sell too, so you can be a little more off the grid:

Naaaaaa, Its just too convenient to pull over on a county bridge and throw garbage and stuff into a creek. Love to hear the "KaaaPlunk" when the old oil cans hit the water! Just saying..................................
