Transfer run. Y 9 9 recycling (composting). 8112/2015 4:50 PM 386 Would like to see more recycling categories.Also we were discouraged from rec clip food waste com oslin I think the managers of the transfer station should encourage all types of recycling. 387 i I like being able to dispose of recyclables In one bin and 1 to 2 30 gal bags of garbage In the drive in. 8/12/2015 4:48 PM i 388 �, The weekend hours are very accommodating.The variety of waste accepted is appropriate for a normal household. i 8/12/2015 4:48 PM people p who dispose 8112120154:47 PM 3 389 Yes,however would like the 5 bag limit to be enforced for alt.It Is well know that there are those P of the trash of other households because these other people do not buy dump stickers.Also,the gate attendant s should not be the only person who can dump pick.He acquires lots of stuff and Mashpee residents are not allowed to dump pick like other transfer stations allow. , 390 Ido not want the system that sandwich has.Many of their residents complain about how they have to buy the bags 1 8112120154:47 PM and how much more frustrating it is. 391 Please da not change the current plan.Willing to pay more for the flexibility offered today.Do not understand why the 1 8/1212015 4:43 PM focus is to not lose money.Other depts.do. 392 but I'm in favor of pay for throw I see a lot of people with 5 or more bags.. 8!1212015 4:42 PM 393 We leave 2 full boxes of recycle material twice a week.The system is efficient.I fail to see the overall economy of pay 1 8/12/2015 4:42 PM as you throw.It seems that the town would have to add to staff to verify that the correct bags are used. I 394 I Please do not adopt pay as you throw.Thank you. 1 8/1212015 4:42 PM 395 ; 1 think there should be some sort of a re-cycle area,where we can give away usable items instead of throwing them 811212015 4:39 PM i away,like so often I do.Looks like you need to expand the re-cycle clothing,the process now in empty trailer trucks and crushing the trash with a large cement boulder is a little antiquated.Time for a compactor, 396 i Leave everything as is.NO PAY AS YOU GO 811 21201 5 4:38 PM 397 ! A well run operation compared to the one we use in Connecticut.Never a back up and all the residents seem to obey 811212015 4:38 PM the stations instructions In regard to trash disposal. 26132
