If you don't want to move to trash collection of one barrel every two weeks that was approved by the Town of Hamilton Selectmen, please sign this petition.

Since this new trash program was not taken to a vote at Town Meeting this petition will represent the folks not willing to make the change. For those already recycling and composting we would incur an additional tax for what we pay for already. Collection of one barrel a week and enacting a new compost program is sufficient, and in-line with what Wenham has recently approved.

Hi Barbara. Thank you for your question. You can check out my answer to this question here: http://reading.patch.com/articles/hamilton-leaders-approve-biweekly-trash-pickup-weekly-townwide-recycling-and-organics.

How can I go about challenging this vote and having the community have a say in this matter? Would you at least be able to tell me where to find the information to get the process started?

Hi Ron, in what capacity of Town Government did you serve? I'd love to talk more with you about attracting commercial businesses.
