Oh really? Two-thirds of Grapevine citizens prefer their current trash and recycling service?

Well, I may have paid for that answer, but I am sure not buying it!

The city of Grapevine (meaning taxpayers) paid more than $9000.00 for this survey, but no one I know – friends, fellow church members and co-workers, were surveyed. No one on the citizens group that has worked for more than a year on this matter was surveyed.

Our group asked to be a part of the survey, including formation of questions. There was not a single word in the survey on the benefits of improved recycling – reduction in emissions, reduction in landfill waste and reduction in unsightly curbside trash.

This survey was an expensive joke on this very serious matter. How disappointing.

Fellow citizens, if you feel that Grapevine should be the cleaner, greener city it claims to be, join business owners, environmental experts and families calling for change.
