Towns want more money for garbage pickup
NORWICH – Chenango County officials want to raise the amount credited to each of its 21 townships for roadside garbage pick up from $100, which was set in 1994, to $250 per year.
Supervisor James J. McNeil, D-City of Norwich, made the motion before members of the Public Works Committee last week. Town of Norwich Supervisor David C. Law seconded it. The motion passed unanimously and will go before the full Board of Supervisors in April.
Town of Otselic Supervisor David J. Messineo suggested the increase due to the higher fee at the county’s landfill for taking in tires. That rate increased last year from $1.25 to $2 per automobile tire. Messineo also pointed to the public health risk from mosquitoes that live and multiply in junked tires left along roadways.
Only five towns used the full $100 set aside in their roadside accounts in 2005 and only four did so in 2006. The towns of Bainbridge, Lincklaen, McDonough, New Berlin and Norwich used the most over the two-year period.
The credit does not carry over nor can it be used by another town, Public Works Director Randy Gibbon said.
“I wish we would use it all,” Preston Supervisor Peter C. Flanagan said. “Maybe if it was raised at a point where we would put in the time and effort it takes us, we would.”
Messineo suggested the motion to increase the amount should include enabling unused credit to be carried over to the following year, however the committee agreed to wait to see whether the increase is accepted.
