Remember the good old days when the transfer station was included in your taxes. I have no kids in the public schools, I don't call the police or the fire dept. I pay thousands of dollars in taxes and have to go pay $125 to put a sticker on my car to take my own garbage to the dump. What a deal, only in Rhode Island.

I took a walk today in my neighborhood and was noticing the large number of homes that had bags of garbage and overflowing recycling outside...and I had to wonder... with this economy and more and more people finding the $125 harder to pay, and therefore putting it off longer and longer... The result is a lot of extra garbage blowing around and littering our town. I would wonder if it was possible to charge less, say $50...you would probably get a whole lot more people buying the stickers and less garbage being carelessly tossed in our town.

Thanks for the comment tsgcPORT. Anyone else think the sticker should cost $50?

How About If We Leave The Price Where It Is, And Use Some Of Our Tax Dollars To Fix West Main Road. Has Anyone Else Noticed The Motorcycle Tire Sized Square Holes In The Road Near Raytheon? I Can't Wait To Hit One Of Those, While Riding My Super Cool Motorcycle, In The Spring Time And Sue The Town. Then I'll Buy Dump Stickers For Everybody.
