DPW Director John Franklin Introducing New Recycling Cans

uh like natasha is getting ready to go into a single source recycling project what that what that will mean is that all the households like would be getting one of these 95 gallon yellow containers we're going to start giving these out in the first part of april what you'll do with your recycling then you'll put all of your recycling in these cans your cans your bottles your newspapers everything goes into into the recycling can and then on your regular collection day the can will be picked up by by a automatic truck in the areas where we can use the automatic trucks the main reason for this is it's a big money over the years which would save a lot of money with the amount of personnel it's going to take to pick the cans up and the amount of time spent picking them up i don't think the average household will fill one of these cans in a week so possibly you may only put it out every other week that means the truck can just keep going and go to the next one it takes less trucks in to pick it up we have two tractor trailers that we bought a while back because the program should have started before now these these tractor trailers will be used on this pickup and they hold a whole lot of materials by holding a lot of material the truck can stay out a lot longer and you don't waste the time having to go back to the to the recycling center to dump it it's a project the county's been working on now for several years and they're ready to get started it's going to be a big saver for the town and the county and for you
