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 To n'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 />
