The recent changes in the Thetis Island Waste Management take a little thought. Note that by charging for garbage, TIRRA is putting the real cost of the most costly element of waste disposal on those who produce it. If trashing everything is your favourite recycling procedure, you will pay the cost of it.

Consider further that garbage which contains recycling could subject our entire system to fines. Measures to defend our system from fines are cost savings measures, NOT privacy invasions.

What are your thoughts on the recent changes?

While very grateful for the work of the committee, my feeling is that the communication about changes has been somewhat vague. Explaining the change is difficult for the committee and understanding the meaning has been hard for the community.
