The key to both would be the ability to issue fines for non-compliance. Education for <br /> condominiums, businesses, and others using hauler might be more effective. The expiration of <br /> the Town's current disposal contract and the increase in the tip fee will result in the costs for <br /> haulers and their customers increasing as well. Promoting the cast savings realized by other <br /> condominiums, etc. who.have implemented recycling programs would bolster the argument for <br /> others to develop similar programs. <br /> The meeting adjourned at 430 p.m.. <br /> Respectively submitted, <br /> Catherine Laurent <br />
