UNIFORM BINS ?? WHY ??? PART II

There seems to be some misconception on why the city of Oshkosh will be purchasing bins for general garbage collection and for recyclables .

There are some city officials some of which are elected who feel that because Winnebago County is going to single stream process for processing waste and recyclables that the city needs to by bins for its residents.. But Winnebago County or Winnebago County Solid Waste Department is not making the city of Oshkosh purchase bins to accommodate the new processing waste and recyclables that will be used by Outagamie and Brown County as well.

The reason why the city of Oshkosh is purchasing the bins is to make it easier to have the collection of garbage and recyclables to be done by automated trucks thus lowering the cost of this city service.
Winnebago County will still accept bags for waste and recyclables and the single stream
process of collection will still be able to use go bags or bins for the system. The question should be by spending $50/62 is a good investment to save more many with the use of automated trucks. Now an issue has been made of should individuals have to purchase the bins or should the city do it by borrowing money to purchase the bins with taxpayer money. Well either way the taxpayer has to pay I would think if the city made it mandatory for every residence then people would want the city to provide the bins thus the taxpayer money would have to be spent on the bins. In the long haul it saves the city and taxpayer money on the service as a whole by use of automated garbage trucks.

So to sum it up, Winnebago County or the Winnebago County Landfill is not making the city of Oshkosh buy the bins in question. The city of Oshkosh would do it to save money by using the bins in conjunction with automated trucks which utilize less manpower to use. And one last point most of the communities in three counties mentioned before are utilizing the said bins in question.
