The proposed cost of cameras and license plate recognition software <br /> was considered to be too expensive. Wayne BevAcqua mentioned a simple DVR system($400- <br /> $500)with connection to Comcast at about$10 per month should be obtainable.

Wayne BevAcqua responded we'll be accomplishing eliminating trucks <br /> with"mile-high'bags using the Transfer Station. Richard Elrick said he is not sure limitation of <br /> bags will reduce abuse. He said it will not really stop them if all they have to do is make multiple <br /> trips per day. Kalliope Egloff said the Board of Health position is let people throw away as much <br /> as they want as long as people pay for their waste. <br /> Again it was re-stated the need to educate public on what is waste; what is recyclable; and what <br /> constitutes single stream. Catherine said the guides and single-stream flyers are handed out with <br /> every single permit issued. In addition,reminders are placed in the Enterprise before Christmas <br /> season advertising what items are recyclable. <br />
