maybe one can go at the bus stop near green willow run so trash can stop collecting in the water,,,,, http://public-corruption.com

Terrific! Now how about replacing mine since it is the UM trash collectors who have destroyed them by heaving them up onto my lawn and breaking off the handles. In a couple of weeks I will be reluctantly shelling out almost $1000 in tax revenue to insure that the same people who have total disrespect for the cost of new trash cans by UM residents can get big hefty raises for not doing their jobs. Watta world! Beam me up Scottie!

Pretty extravagant for only two trashcans. From my experience as a Facilities Manager, I've found that you could place 25 trashcans in the described areas, and you're still going to find trash on sidewalks and streets. It's the uneducated nature of people traveling through our township.

TrashcansUnlimited dot com has (Recycled!) 55 gallon recycle cans with lids for under $300. they look nice too! Hmm, that took me 10 seconds to find on Google. Sometimes even government should think outside of the box.

This is a good example how government wastes money. Imagine buying a trash can for $1,996 then paying an additional $200-plus for shipping! This is how government works and wastes our hard earned money. Ridiculous! And now they plan on putting those outrageously priced trash cans in Willow Grove? Like the people that throw their trash all over the street now are going to use them. Parks and Rec Director Pat Stasio says that all the cans are that expensive. Really Pat?? How much did the trash cans you use at home cost? This is outrageous!!

Sounds great! lets spend 5k of taxpayers money on trash cans. Cant we purchase cheaper ones? Better yet, like other twps did apply for a state grant to apply toward the cost. What am i thinking its government, who don't care and are to lazy to consider cheaper options. Also. Who will empty these trash cans? Public works crews have a difficult time picking up residential trash as it is let alone public right-of-way containers. Another note, make sure when we spend 5k on these trash/recycle containers they are under 32 gallons and weigh less than 20 pounds, removable lids as well hahahaha or else count public works out. We have a few cans throughout the area now which 90% of the time are overflowing. Maybe the board should consider emptying the current containers more often and getting the trash/litter picked up off the ground and out of the creek before we add 5k worth of trash cans. I walked through war memorial park the other day and it looks like a dump! trash and debris in the creek, newspapers and bottles all over the hills and around the playground. Lets step it up UM parks and rec. and public works. We taxpayers pay a hefty amount in taxes to have our parks and township looking more and more like the city. Maybe invest in a street sweeper as well, our streets are filthy. Maybe put that 5k toward fixing our streets that are crumbling. Put some thought into these ideas!

I agree with Cinderabi as well, take that 5k and replace every homeowners trash can(s) that they purchase with THEIR OWN MONEY. Yet township employees (supported by their own supervisor) think it is ok to be lazy and launch cans across taxpayers yards rather then taking a second to walk the can back to the curb and PLACE it down. Must be why trash cans have to be small in size, so its convenient for them to throw them across yards. Yet when caught in the act throwing containers the supervisor swears his guys do not do such a thing. For the amount of taxes we pay in this township the service they provide is garbage! no pun intended haha

maybe they cant apply for federal or state money for some reason???? possibly possibly.........

i man take for example the article the other day upper moreland need $60,000 for only portable radios not car radios and it's a must its a requirement..that's is kinda fishy that you bring up other townships go for grants......hmmm things to think about.........
