The Refuse r Problem

One OF The most troublesome and

ing the average small city today is the
proper preliminary care and subse-
quent dispsoal of its waste production
and refuse--its garbage or kitchen

rags. bottles. articles of furniture. etc.
1t is proDlem in which the mutual
cooperation of the city's forces and
the public at large is essential and
must be gained before effic lent re-
suits can be accomplished Refuse
disposal in the small community
should begin with the household
where the waste originates. If the
several wastes are properly ald care

holds. the final care, collection and
disposal are reduced to a minimum,
and the efficiency OF the der artinent
engaged in this work increased very
materially.
/ In the first place, suitable, substan-
tial. weIl-reinforced receptacles
should be provided in ever, house
hold for the retention OF decompos-
able wastes. such receptacles to be
water tight, tightly covered and of
such q size that when full they will
not cause the collector an undue
amount Of effort In lifting them to his
truck. The can needs to be substant-
ial, OF good material, we'll re inforced
to avoid an early and hasty deteri-
oration and 'destruction TT cover
Is OF great Importance and nothing
should be done to impair Its junction.
The separation of all wastes within
the household Is essential. The or
ganic and vegetable scraps Should be
kept apart from the cans, bottles,
papers and other decomposabla vast es
The cans should preferably be per-
forated several times In ordels. to pre-.
vent the collection Of water. This will
aid in the combat against the mos
quito. s
matter from the kitchen is receiving
considerable attention and where con-
scientiously tried is meeting with sue
cess. The wrapping process pro-
notes greater cleanliness around the
garbage can. defeats the fly, and fur
thermore. foils the cur dog that oc-
casionally tips over the can in quest
OF food, and spreads the contents
broadcast.
The careful selection Of suitable
place at each hcusehold for keeping
the several refuse receptaclei, is also
important. 1t is the opinions of the
writer that all waste cans should be
placed in an easily accessible place on
'he curb line, in order to lig hten the
labors Of the collector and t1 econo-
mize on the time Of collection. One
may. feel that a. garbage collectors
time and labor are OF little conse-
nnence. but only when one considers
the frequency Of collection and it's
consequent costs, can the val,le be de-
termined.
All OF the above factors entering
into the disposal Of refuse begin at
the household. and if properly at
tended to will be great step toward
relieving many objectionable condi-
lions. The separation of refuse pro-
