why not slip a note in the upcoming tax bills??

It was really nice to have a bulk pickup twice a year. Items got recycled and you only had to look at the big garbage on the curb twice a year. Now, its all the time someone has bulk pickup items out somewhere in the Town! What were you thinking? And now you are saying its a violation if you put stuff out without calling? Give it up - clean up out town - go back to bulk pickup and keep Cornwall looking clean.

I WANT MY TRASH PICK-UP BACK ! AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR ! COME ON, WHATS UP WITH TAKING IT AWAY ANYWAY?

It does seem kind of silly, on the face of it, to eliminate a pick-up where trucks go out and pick up everything at the same time on two set days, rather than going out every time someone calls for a bulk pickup. I can't imagine how the current method could be more efficient and cost effective than what was done in the past (perhaps someone did a thorough cost benefit analysis, though). If anything they should cut it down to one pick-up day a year if they have to because of costs, but still do it all at the same time.

The other thing that has been lost is having a set day for people to drive around and look for things that can still be used. I always thought it was great to see people exemplifying the adage that one person's trash is another person's treasure.

Reduce, re-use, recycle
