RF.~ RiL.I. l$ (Draft 31 Green Waste Recyc~
Aloha Chairman Safarik and Councilmembcts.
My name is Flynn Baggs. My family moved to Dona when i was 10
years old. I have grown up here and # am raising my family here. J work as
a landscape contractor in Kona. IVxy testimony represents the feelings of
many of the landscapers who work in Kona.
We support the idea of green waste recycling. We are willing to pay
at a weigh stmtion_ The pmblem we have with this )3i11 is that we will be
forced to drive over 45 miles on the highway out to Waikoloa to dump the
green waste. This will not only add to an existing danAetous traffic
situation, but wil# cost us precious time each day. The problem will a#so
transfer to those wishing to pick up the mulch after !t is processed. This
entire process should occur as close as possible to the work zotte, not out of
town.
Please consider providing a scale at Kcaiakche so the process of green
waste recycling is efficient for everyone involved.
Thank you for considering these thoughts.
