Finally, the teachers asked that playgrounds at primary and elementary schools be upgraded. July 1 Curb-side trash collection limits for the Town of Oliver will come into effect July 1. As of that date, residents will be allowed to put out only three large bags of garbage each week. Town council accepted the recommendation during its regular meeting Monday. Dump-users will pay by volume for trash brought to the dump.
Residents wishing to purchase additional bag tags can do so at the town office.
The town is also hoping to make arrangements with some area businesses to sell the tags. Regulation of the bag limit will fall to the garbage collection contractor, Town Administrator Tom Szalay said, noting the contractor must turn in tags to the town in order to be paid for extra trash collected. It is the contractor's incentive to self-regulate. Councillor Ron Casorso lauded the move and said he believes residents will accept the new limits. Councillor Evelyn Ask agreed.
