Mailbag: Residents speak against single hauler trash service

Guest Author by Guest Author
March 12, 2020

We, as residents of Lyons, wish to combine our voices to speak out against a town mandatory single-hauler trash service (sometimes referred to as Pay As You Throw, or PAYT).

We are a combination of Western, United, and One Way clients, as well as those who don’t currently have a trash service at all. We urge you all to vote against this overreach by the town government.

We are happy with the garbage systems we use. Some of us don’t even have a trash service now because we generate so little actual trash. Some of us take it to work, or share service with a neighbor. Some of us have been with our current provider for many years and have no complaints. All of this will change if this is approved because it is mandatory for all households in the town of Lyons. 

We already pay to recycle, each and every one of us, because our taxes support the town Recycle Center. The center is not going away and we will continue to use it.

Selecting one monopoly trash hauler, and a new town utility, would have been a done deal. The decision wasn’t even going to be up for a vote until a group of Lyons residents, from all parts of our community, took action to assure we all have a choice in the future. We just need to vote Yes on Resolution 2020-09 which gives us the right to decide on this utility for ourselves, and No on the Board of Trustees’ single hauler trash service.

Your Friends and Neighbors,

    Nicholas, Please add our names to your list above. We’ve lived in Lyons since 1991 and witnessed many changes in the following years, especially since the 2013 flood. We’re against PAYT and not being given the choice. Thanks to all for getting this on the ballot. Ruth and Scott Corwin, thegrandmama@yahoo.com
