I agree with the concept, but not with the cost Don has made an important point. I know a little about this when MMNHP decided to eliminate trash barrels for the reasons Don has sited, and the increased stress on the Park’s budget.
As for an addition to Lincoln trails, purchased barrels that can be secured are not cheap and we would need at least 40. Then we would have to pay to have them emptied. And other trash would be dumped there too, as Don noted. Some people use public trash barrels to dump ALL their trash to avoid paying garbage fees! I suspect there might be some BoH regs involved as there would be a concentration of a toxic waste. And, would we pay DPW or Con. Comm staff for this nasty task? I say we pay enough to own and maintain trails. Let those who use them exercise just a wee modicum common sense (no need for signs) and adopt some responsibility and gratitude for the use of our wonderful trials,. Let dog walkers remove their dog’s waste! ------ Sara Mattes > On Feb 15, 2022, at 1:35 PM, melinda bruno-smith <[email protected]> > wrote: > > yes for trash receptacles--brilliant! > melinda > > From: Lincoln <[email protected]> on behalf of Jenniemorris via > Lincoln <[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2022 12:28 PM > To: Donald Hafner <[email protected]> > Cc: lincolntalk.org <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [LincolnTalk] An important question about doggie poop bags (DPBs) > > Totally with you on this one, Don!
