I'd like to know how much tax money every household saves each month that garbage is collected once a week instead of twice a week. I'm betting the actual savings per homeowner is small, and that if given the opportunity, we'd vote to go back to twice a week garbage collection year round. THis is a saving that looks good on paper- Mayor Stahl has cut x amount from the township budget. But I believe that families with children, diapers, etc. would gladly pay the extra tax every month to save the trash from piling up.
I'd vote for Republican candidates who'd commit to restoring twice a week trash pick-up in East Brunswick, but nobody has mentioned this issue. So numbers please- how much extra would it cost us per month, per year? Let the taxpayers decide. whether this small savings is worth it. .

I too would,like to know the actual saving. When you consider the township tax went down only a few pennies, the cutting of garbage pick up did not make a real difference. I wonder why the republican candidates are silent on this, Walmart and the 400 rental units.
