Don't know if it's possible, but I'm in favor of putting the fee on the April ballot each year as a debt exclusion....bags or no bags. Either that or the town does what the Town of Rehoboth does, which is to mandate nothing. The residents either can purchase a sticker and use the transfer station or they can contract for an outside service.

According to a contributor to Rehobothtalk who uses the company that provides the large barrels, he/she pays $66.00 per quarter. Recyclables are picked up every other week.

20 or so years ago, I lived in a town that did exactly what Rehoboth does. When we moved in, a neighbor explained that we needed to call town hall and they had a list of reputable companies that provided the service. Most of the neighborhood used the same one. It was the large barrels that were easily wheeled curbside. We loved it. But I would rather contract my own company than have the town do it for me. The Town Sanitation Enterprise fund and the accompanying law has become a case of "too big to fail". And I think Brady knows it.

Stop and Shop on Rt. 6 has not adjusted the price in their computerized registers to lower the price of Seekonk trash bags. They are still charging $6.50 for small bags. I brought it to the attention of the cashier and she did nothing. I brought it to the service desk and they gave me the 50 cents back. That's not the point! Fix your pricing!
What's the sense of lowering the cost of bags if they are 'ignoring' it. Who's going to get the extra money collected?

Don't they have a policy that if it scans wrong it is free? We should look into that because i'll go buy 10 bags of bags right now!

Maybe it isn't Stop and Shops fault. Maybe someone at town hall dropped the ball and Stop and Shop was unaware of the price change.

I noticed a local business has yet to increase the sales tax. They claim they know nothing about it and really don't seem to believe me. To them I say...Good luck!!!

The young lady at the service desk said they were aware that the price had been lowered. She didn't know why they were still ringing up higher. But she didn't appear to do anything about it except give me the 50 cents overcharge back. So typical...
