I think the bag or tag method is far better than taxing each household. With a bag or tag method, people pay for what they use and have an incentive to (excuse the cliche) reduce/reuse/recycle.
It doesn't make any sense to me for a widowed grandmother who might have a small shopping bag worth of garbage/week to pay the same amount for trash collection as a family of 6.

You're out of your freakin mind.Its not my fault your neighbors with 4 kids don't recycle.What about those people with kids that do,did you think of them?It would appear you have some lame neighbors,boohoo for you but not my fault.
Your not from Tiverton I see Johnny.Everyone here pays the same for the bags and everyone pays taxes for pickup to begin with.I excuse your cliche because its freakin LAME.Read my and Spence's posts,we we're already recycling!
The very first person to write a letter to the editor in the Sakonnet times was a widowed grandmother.Why should she pay $2 to throw away a half bag a garbage when she already pays outrageous taxes for pickup anyway?!
Please read the goddamn posts before you reply...no one here was saying that people who throw less garbage should pay the same as someone who throws more but that the price of throwing in Tiverton is just way to high.
Please THINK before you speak.Can't stand crusaders like you.Stop replying to threads when you haven't a clue as to what your talking about its getting really freakin old.
