www.laconiadailysun.com, December 18, page 5: A public message-editorial style display advertisement from Gilmanton that is very informative in telling you all about the costs of running a New Hampshire transfer station.

Hey, here's a question for you......so how come New Hampshire is probably the one and only state for one thousand miles that does not require a 5-cent deposit on aluminum beverage cans? Answer: Granite Staters should be recycling because they want to do it, and not just because they would get their nickel back! 
Check out the list of prices......aluminum cans.....$1040./per ton...is far and away the highest price amoung the various recycled materials. |
Small towns shouldn't be in the business of sorting waste and then paying someone else to take it away.
The Gilmanton Transfer Facility Manager states that he needs to do something to turn his facility into a profit center. At one time the Transfer Stations were supported by our property taxes. Now they want to make us pay more and more for taking our trash.
This has got to stop or these transfer stations are going to nickel and dime us to death and there won't be a thing we can do about it.
Revolt I say, Revolt!!!!!
