Editor:
I would like to offer a huge thank you to Mayor Rob Hutchins.
We have been living in Ladysmith for 12 years, and over the years, the compost has moved to Peerless and the spring yard waste pickup has been cancelled.
We have attempted to downsize and cut back our carbon footprint. As a result, we no longer have any transport for our yard waste — and taking the waste down to Peerless adds a large carbon footprint on to our disposal of same.
We brought this to the mayor’s attention during the Home, Garden and Business Show a couple of weeks ago. He mentioned he had a pickup and we were welcome to call him. I was a little reticent to do the same.
Imagine our surprise when the mayor pulled up to our back alley this weekend and loaded the spring cuttings we had collected into his truck and took it off to Peerless!
Thank you again Rob — that was wonderful!
Wendi and Michael
