Comments on: Burns considers curbside recycling http://burnstimesherald.info/2008/01/30/burns-considers-curbside-recycling/ Covering Harney County Like The Sagebrush Wed, 09 May 2012 17:18:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Numb http://burnstimesherald.info/2008/01/30/burns-considers-curbside-recycling/#comment-88 Numb Fri, 01 Feb 2008 00:16:29 +0000 http://burnstimesherald.info/2008/01/30/burns-considers-curbside-recycling/#comment-88 Curbside recycling. Now there's an idea I don't spend much time thinking about, it's a no-brainer. When I think of recycling, I think of a trendy neighborhood in southern California where property values are beyond my capability to imagine. Here in Burns, people have enough task just to keep there dogs tied up. Each time there is a stiff wind, the garbage cans end up on their side and the town begins to look like it's character. Despite the best efforts of some conscientious citizens who may have expressed an interest, they can't beat back the tide of others whom feel they have nothing to lose. Recycling won't work until the consequences make it too late to try. Let's open the door and face the hard truth. (And, try not to step in anything.) Curbside recycling. Now there’s an idea I don’t spend much time thinking about, it’s a no-brainer.

It is plain and simple either perform or some other service provider will carry out that portion of your unfulfilled contract. I am tired of Harney Countians slacking off and allowing corporations to dictate what they think is best for the people! It is time Burns, Hine and all of Harney County enter the 21st century. Most of Harney County either burns, buries or throw away valuable and toxic recyclable waste. Think of our precious water supply in 10, 20, 50 and even 100 years from now when some of that buried/burned toxic waste leaches into the potable water system that we all take pride in having abundance of. Wayne Baron needs to fill a much needed recycle service not only for our city/county. But, he will be providing a cleaner environment for all of our children and their children. Harney County needs an avid recycle program and a company that can handle it.
