Editor:
I went to the local city dump the other day with about 13.6 kilograms (30 pounds) of dead grass trimmings from thatching my small plot of grass in Triangle Gardens.
I could not believe they charged me $2 to give them compostable material which they can process and sell to whomever wants compost.
To me, this is like someone giving me the material to build something and I charge them for the material.
If they pick this stuff up around the city for free, why do they charge for each measly bag that we deliver ourselves?
Is the city that hard up for money?
I guess I’ll have to take my compostable stuff elsewhere from now on.
