We were originally told that the town council's reason for the bag tags
was to force people to reduce the amount of garbage by recycling more
responsibly. The council praised themselves shortly after by saying the
amount of waste being taken to the landfill site had been reduced by
25%. But, here we go again, with another story. The council is now
saying the reduction in the amount of garbage picked up at the curb has
been reduced even more, therefore reducing the amount of income produced
by the bag tags. The reason for the bag tags in the first place was to
reduce the amounts of garbage and therefore extend the life of the
landfill site. Even though the goal has been achieved, the council feels
as though we'll happily pay even more and have raised the landfill site
tipping fees by 25%. That's nothing but a huge 25% tax grab. Something
smells really rotten... and its not the garbage.
