Moyie needs to support recycling |

I see the City of Bonners Ferry is attempting to
make recycling easier and more convenient for
its citizens. Since the landfill has gone to one
stream recycling I don't see why the City of
Moyie Springs cannot find a spot for its
citizens and neighbors to participate. It could be a manned, only recyclables accepted site. Having a manned site would ensure that those who are new to recycling can be shown what is involved and what is acceptable and what is unacceptable. It would also keep the area clean and neat. No household garbage would be accepted. The current location of City Hall would provide both ample space and a central location. Many of us drive by everyday to the post office on a well built road. The large parking area is currently used on a regular basis by only one city employee, is well lit, provides power, water and restrooms. The current one yard dumpster, equal to six cans at $37.12 per month, for city employee use only, is picked up weekly by Frederickson's, which proves the lot is big enough for a big truck to get in and out. It may be argued that those who do not live within the city limits will use it. That argument is baseless as all property owners within the county are paying the waste management fee. Those are the same taxpayers who will pay a much higher fee if the landfill is closed. |
