Under St. Paul's new rules for organized residential trash collection, our garbage hauling costs will more than TRIPLE. Residents who park their cars in the offstreet lot will be forced to compete for space with fourteen plastic carts (six recycle PLUS eight trash). This will be a headache in the summer...and an incessant hassle with winter's snow and ice. (click image for .pdf file) |

Garbage hauling costs at this three-family dwelling will be FIVE TIMES HIGHER (i.e., "skyrocket") under St. Paul's new rules. Unnecessary trash carts will take up too much space and encroach on the required pathway at the top of stairs leading to the yard and house below. (click image for .pdf file) |
