where does one get biogradeable paper bags?
Why are we worried about a program that only covers 10% of the city? I'll bet it covers the streets that the council persons live on. Let it die!
So when someone slips on them, a neighbor gets sued or causes a car accident ? wet leafs are like walking on ice....true hop
Wassup! - Home Depot and Lowes as well as many hardware stores. Outside the city, everyone has to do that.
but they still have money for city councils bloated staff
Aren't ALL paper bags biodegradeable????
If they are putting $400K in expenses back into the budget, where are they going to cut to get money to pay for it?
Give City Council and their vastly overpaid aides leaf rakes and the biodegradable bags, and make them clean it up.
This is outrageous. I live in that 10% of the city with trees, and it is perfectly reasonable to have people bag their leaves in order to save the city some money. If Council can't even get on board with a minor, reasonable cut like this, we really are in trouble.
There are drop-off points for bagged leaves? Really?? Where??? It would help if the city would publicize that information. I agree with Philly Transplant--once upon a time, people used to sweep up in front of their own houses.
IF YOU THINK I AM GOING TO BAG MY LEAVES YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND... I WOULD HAVE TO BAG AROUND 300 BAGS TO START & HALF OF MY LEAVES AREN'T EVEN OFF THE TREES. THEY WILL STAY IN THE STREET UNTIL THEY BLOW AWAY. WE PROBABLY PAY ABOUT 75% OF THE REAL ESTATE TAXES FOR THE CITY UP HERE IN THE FAR NORTHEAST & YOU KEEPING TAKING SERVICES AWAY.
HOPEFULLY THE LEAVES WILL BE GONE WHEN I MOVE OUT TO THE SUBURBS NEXT SPRING. SEE YA LATER BROTHERS & SISTERS.....
