TO THE BANDERA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

I sincerely hope you reconsider your decision to close the recycling bins. Will this also include the compactor of regular garbage? It may cost Bandera County to recycle paper, plastic, tin, and aluminum but it costs the Earth a lot more to fill dumps with materials which may deteriorate in several years and maybe not at all. Right now, soft drink manufacturers are facing a lack of aluminum cans which is why some of the slower-selling products are not being manufactured.

My family would be willing to pay to be able to recycle rather than add to dumps. When we moved to Bandera 20 years ago, there was no recycling available at all. We were so glad when recycling started. Please don't stop it.
