Hurting our environment in Kent | Letters

Published 11:32 am Thursday, June 27, 2013

It has come to my notice that the trash collection company Allied Waste in Kent will give you a free small recycle bin as long as you are paying for a small trash container.

However, if you are paying for a larger trash container such as a commercial one, they will not allow you to have a free recycle container meaning if you want to recycle anything you will have to pay for another container.

If you have a large trash container and no recycle container, you will then be throwing recycle into the trash. Why do that? It is hurting the environment, meaning future generations may not have as many of Earth’s resources that are already starting to run low.
