The Town of Baie Verte has proposed the automatic collection of garbage. It claims that such garbage collection would be more efficient, cleaner, safer, smarter and would eliminate the need for garbage boxes. Wheeled carts will be delivered to each household, with an annual fee of $50.00 for the first two years and $20.00 for each year there after.
We, the undersigned, are opposed to this venture for the following reasons:
1) Seniors would have great difficulty handling these garbage carts, pushing them up to the roadside, especially if living where there is a steep incline/decline in your driveway. Our winter snow conditions would make this task next to impossible for many.
2) We would be liable for misplaced or damaged carts; thus creating "another" added expense to the taxpayers.
3) We feel that there should have been discussion/consultation from all members of the town, not just members of the Town Council.
4) Imposing an extra expense to taxpayers is uncalled for, an extra expense that many residents cannot afford.
5) Our town does not have curbs or sidewalks to accommodate such carts.
If you are in agreement with these statements, please show your support by signing this petition.

The scale of this response confirms that our concerns regarding the proposed collection system are shared by a vast portion of the community. I have requested a formal meeting with the Town Council to present our objections and demand a public consultation process.

We have a lot of seniors here, how are they going to bring it back and forth to the Curb, these containers are not light.
I would like for someone from The Town of Baie Verte Council to explain why an extra cost to the taxpayers is being claimed as a cost effective venture for the town. We are already paying for garbage collection, so this will be another tax burden on the residents for something, in my opinion, will only work for 20% of the residents.
This should have been voted on by the town.
Gerard I personal think we need things a lot worst than auto garbage bins the citizens of Baie Verte have it hard enough to live now with out more tax to pay we've more important thing in this town to do .Any council that go behind the citizens back and pass something like this should be booted out and elected some one with brains to run our town
Spend $ on potholes
We have no issues with the garbage collection as it presently is. Why change it, especially at an extra tax burden to the citizens?
i think money could be spendin better things look at the roads and water system here in this town

We already bring our own garbage to the dump every week so i don't see the need in charging us anything extra if we already do all the work ourselves (my house hold)
