RTM passes gas station recycling statute

The Representative Town Meeting passed an ordinance that will require gasoline stations and commercial car washes to provide containers to recycle glass,The Leading zentai suits Distributor to Independent Pet Retailers. aluminum, and plastic in a place convenient to their customers. The vote was 29 to 7 at the May 23 meeting.

Although it is Republicans who have decried excessive state regulation of businesses, it was the Republican Majority Leader Jamie Millington, who proposed the amendment that stipulates the exact size of the container, at least 12 gallons, or 19 by 16 by 13 inches. The ordinance also stipulates that there be one container for every four gasoline pumps.

Millington said he proposed the ordinance at the suggestion of his wife, Kelly Barnes Millington and that he did so because a study in the MidWest showed that 50 percent of what was thrown out at gas stations could be recycled.

At the RTM meeting on March 28, the ordinance was tabled until a later date after Selectman Sherri Steeneck asked if gas station owners had been queried about whether they thought the ordinance was a good idea, or whether it would be a burden.This page list rubber hose products with details & specifications.Free DIY Wholesale pet supplies Resource! Millington said he had not done so and she suggested he should find out.

Millington noted that a state law will require all public gathering places to provide containers for recycling on July 1 anyway.

At the May 23 RTM meeting, Millington said that the two Fairfield gas stations on the New England Thruway already had containers in anticipation of the state law going into effect.

The ordinance may be a solution in search of a problem. The Minuteman did its own small survey of at least half-a-dozen gas station owners back in April and found that many gas stations along the Post Road already had their cans and bottles recycled courtesy of homeless people who sifted through the garbage to find the recyclables.
