There are better ways to cut costs without impacting service. One option is to reduce the days/hours of operation at all the convenience centers.  Another option is to make the centers self-service, so full time staff isn't needed.  With community education, the county can assure that citizens know how to properly dispose of their trash and recycling.

 
Please Act Now -  Write to the commissioners and ask them to keep the Bradshaw Quarry Convenience Center open.  Suggest that they reduce the days or hours of operation at all the convenience centers.  If you use the Ferguson, Eubanks, or another convenience center, it's especially important to show your support for this idea. Offer other suggestions if you have them.

 

Please be polite. The commissioners have gone through a grueling budget process and its important to support their cost cutting goals.
