IERVYN RUSSELL HALTON ADVOCACY FOR CLIMATE NEREENEY Now WE DON'T NEED RURAL GARBAGE PICKUP This letter isin response to the article in the Aug. 12 Independent and Free Press re- arding a man calling for rural garbage collection. Asa30-year rural Halton Hills resident, Istrongly oppose rural garbage pickup. We do not need to contribute to gas emissions. or increase taxes to provide this unneces- sary service. Those wanting garbage pickup can hire acompany to do so. Given what can be re- cycled, taking a bag of garbage to the dump once ina while is part of rural life, just like having well water and septic tanks. It's better to have garbage at the dump than at the end of rural laneways for scav- engers to access.
