Hi, Interesting, because I’ve received a lot of private messages from people in agreement. I’m glad that you did not encounter the same conditions that many of us did at 10:30. And perhaps some people are available every Saturday, but certainly not everyone. It’s not just about whether it’s crowded though, it’s about availability for dropping off our trash and recycling. I don’t think it’s a lot to ask for in terms of town services. I’m just not sure what the protocol is to try to adjust this policy. Thank you for sharing your experience today. I’m glad it was better than mine. Margo
