discriminating against certain commercial businesses by not pro viding town garbage pickup for all of them chamber of commerce ex manager Doug Pcnrice said last week The Hills Chamber of Commerce approached the town earlier this year asking the town to inform local businesses of their right to town funded commercial garbage pickup Mr said it was a modest victory for the town engineering department to admit the present waste collection in ur ban areas is discriminating by charging all taxpayers for urban garbage pickup and not supplying the service to all commercial businesses in the urban area There s been quite a concern raised by the chamber of com merce that a number of local peo ple won get equil treatment town engineering manager Ted Drewlo said last week The town placed advertisements in the local newspapers in Acton and Georgetown informing people that garbage pickup for urban areas is available But Mr said the adver placed in the newspapers were too small to be noticed The chamber reacted last week by sending flyers to businesses who could be entitled to urban commercial pickup The chamber said they were trying to get the word out better than we did by this newspaper ad Mr Drewlo said in response to the chambers actions He said the town s engineering department will wait until the chamber gets feedback on its- flyers before ad ding new businesses to the
