We believe that in addition to the efforts needed for market <br />development, the council should really take the lead in <br />developing a direct incentive program to the waste producers. <br />The way the system operates now, there is no direct benefit to <br />the waste producers (all of us) to reduce volume or recycle. <br />(It costs the same whether you put out a half a can of garbage <br />or two full cans of garbage). Incentives are much more effective <br />than more mandates. <br />
