The Editor,
Re. "Pick up trash every week" (Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept. 14).
Before Saeed Nejatali goes charging off to the polls, the letter writer should consider the following: In Port Coquitlam, green garbage (garden clippings and kitchen waste) is picked up weekly during that part of the year when warmer weather may cause quicker decay/rotting and subsequent odour. Recyclable and general garbage should not cause a problem as little odour would occur.
Port Coquitlam distributes a calendar with appropriate pick-up dates. If greater capacity is a problem, a second or larger bin is available at reasonable cost.
Garbage happens, it shouldn't rule one's life.
Terence Roberts, Port Coquitlam
