At this point I am not interested in backyard composting but would be open to the idea of a trash hauler handling the materials. I do not believe a self-service community composting program would be popular enough to justify its operation.”

If yard waste will decompose in a bin in my backyard, then it should decompose in land fill. Maybe we need to stop using plastic trash bags and use ones that are biodegradable.”

Do you think it is important for Shawnee to be bicycle-friendly?

I think it’s important. I do love and use the paths, but it would be nice to have lanes so we could use bikes to run errands - saving gas!
