Just a thought: What if we agreed to push our garbage cans to the even street number side of the road for collection?

The city will save a lot on gas and time — trucks collecting from the even number side of the road will make more right-hand turns. I’d say start small and see how it goes.

Also, the city and state should reward those who come up with ideas to help save time and money because we can’t just keep raising taxes.
