Using only available numbers published by our local government there is 33,083 housing units in Suffolk but only 23,283 are occupied with taxpayers. If the City Mothers go with $18.50 per month for ordinary trash pickup those occupied dwellings would produce over five million dollars for the city. Costs to pick up trash are already known and I’d bet my Sunday shirt there would be a handsome profit. And if the firm handling recyclables could do with $12 per month and survive, think what profit there would be with 23,283 forced customers. Seems to us the city could get a much better deal than $12. And those recycled goods are valuable to someone. Who would that be?
