To the Editor:
Pursuant to the letter in the previous Gazette Packet about the new blue recycling bins:
Have you noticed that the blue recycling bins are much less sturdy than our old yellow ones? When the garbage men empty the recycling bins on our street, they throw them to the curb. My yellow bin has stood up to this rough handling with only one small cracked corner. My blue bin has a cracked corner that may soon open all the way to the bottom of the bin.
Not only did we get new bins we didn’t need, but we received bins that were inferior to our yellow bins and which may soon need to be replaced themselves. This, while the original yellow bins are still going strong.
