An idea to pay for dumpster replacement

I read with interest the recent articles in the Independent Record regarding the need for some dumpster replacements. In fact, maybe most of them.

It seems that the CI (Capital Improvements) monthly fee of $5 per customer which we have been paying for many years now would have accrued quite a nest egg by now. What better use would CI of $5 be than equipment replacement costs such as this.

I know I don’t need to point out that the yearly raises in the water, sewer and sanitation are getting more burdensome all the time. Everything we purchase is costing us all. The concept of tightening our budgets should apply to all.

It’s time the monthly capital improvement fee be applied to the dumpster problem.
