Let's Talk - Hotbutton topic in the Peg

There is talk about increase in garbage collection fees. I feel this is another way to bilk taxpayers out of their money. Manitobans pay enough taxes. Instead of looking for ways to raise tax to collect more junk, tax those who accumulate more junk. I personally have never been a junkie. My weekly garbage output is one measly bag. I recycle and reuse. I compost. I buy stuff without much packaging. The city should encourage people to be more responsible by taxing them for excess garbage not to punish those of us who are trying.

Have your say..
