DUMPSTER DAY: APRIL 2007

April Dumpster Day Will provide an opportunity to clean out those big things that won't fit in the normal trash pickup.

HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SPORTS TEAMS TO EARN SOME CASH. THEY CAN PROVIDE TAKE IT TO THE DUMPSTER ASSISTANCE TO CITIZENS WHO DO NOT HAVE TRUCKS OR STRONG BACKS TO MOVE THINGS TO THE DUMPSTER LOCATION.

THIS COORDINATION OF EFFORT COULD EARN A TIP FOR THE SPORTS TEAM OF SAY 5.00 PER ITEM, 10.00 OR 20.00 DEPENDING ON THE HOME OWNER'S ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE FOR THE SERVICE RENDERED.

YES THE CITY HAS RULES THAT ONLY CITIZENS CAN DUMP. THE TEAM PARENTS CAN BE IDENTIFIED AS OFFICIAL FUND RAISERS/TRANSPORTERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF COLLECTING THINGS FOR THE DUMPSTER BY THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT. THIS IS A MINOR MANAGEMENT ISSUE.

There are many people who would rather pay the sports parents than a hauling service. Many people have things to dump but getting them to the dumpster is a problem. For some it is even a problem to get things to the curb for regular annual pick up.

Here is a win win situation. A fund raising opprotunity, a clean the house day, and Citizen helping Citizen.

IF the sports teams do not show interest in this opprotunity they will show the City Council and Citizens their true intent about fund raising. Is it Fireworks or Nothing with them?

Dumpster & Youth Fund Days Can be a Quarterly Event. IF 500 home owners paid $20.00 to have their heavy items picked up by the sports team that would be $10.000, and no fire risk. This would be easier and less time than selling fireworks. IF that amount could be reached 4 times a year that would be $40,000.00 per year for the youth teams.
