Conclusion

We are becoming very much axare that there are inequities

in the present system. If we are to accept the basic prem~
ises that in order to maintain esthetic and health conditions,
garbage is a collective responsibility, that everyone bene-
fits from: proper handling, control and disposal of waste
products, then it is incumbent that everyone pay for the
benefits and service.

The present inequities where some 60 industries and commer—
cial premises out of some 240 receive a service that is
subsidized to the present extent; further, where a portion
of the residential section is paying for garbage collection
by taxation and at the same time are compelled and are
providing their own sevice, cannot be permitted to continue.
These inequities must be corrected under the present system,
It cannot be corrected by throwing out the present, and
hoping that the principle of "fee for service" to part of
the community is g0ing to correct all the inequities and
problems and not create new ones.

In essence, we are Saying that every taxpayer should pay
for a minimum standard which includes a limited pickup
Service. The cost of garbage and waste materials produced
in excess of limited pickup service muzt be borne by the
producer,
