Improve/Monitor Trash Bag quality..
Has anyone else noticed that the 33 gal. orange bags seem to be thinner/ weaker lately? (7/1 - 7/10) They have been ripping more often lately when I stretch them over my 33 gal container edges. They are already almost too small and weak to use in the normal sized plastic trash cans, but if they start making these so thin that they rip every time, this is not acceptable. Maybe the mfg process was poor on the recent batch, as it rips on the "seam". If anyone else is noticing this we'll need to call the supplier and get this fixed. The cans hold about 1/2 the volume if not stretched over the edge of the full can. That about doubles the cost and is a Pain to use! Hope it's just a bad batch of bags and not someone's great idea on how to save another 1/2 cent/ bag :( If you've seen this, pls speak up.

please considered allowing purchased parking permits for business as entry to the dump
As an owner of a small space business and a recent non-resident after 25 years I would like to continue to take my boxes to the dump. I have nowhere to store them and I really don't like them on the sidewalk downtown. I would like to see our parking permit (business owners) be allowed to use that as entry to the dump. Please consider this. Thank you, Karen Roller - North Coast Too!
