Garbage collection fiasco in Linden

Aug 25, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
I’m a resident of Kara Kara, Mackenzie and since the election of our Mayor, my garbage hasn’t been collected. I live alone. My bins have been filled to capacity.
Garbage collection is being done by Cevon’s waste management at a cost of $18,000 per annum for those who can afford it. Sir, I simply can’t afford it. With proper management, we don’t need to pay people like Cevon’s in Linden. My suggestion is, the mayor and town council should take the place of Cevon’s and charge a fraction of the rates Cevon’s charges. In that way, the council would get some additional income to help manage the logistics of providing a reliable garbage collection service.
There are rumours that the mayor is in favour of Cevon’s because of friendship, if that is true, well then, there is a conflict of interest in the Mayor and Town Council. I think that people being elected should do a job truly and diligently. Sir, what I’m talking about is not only myself, but lots of other citizens from various parts of this town are complaining about the same malpractice. So I don’t know if somebody could do something to rectify such malpractice.
