183 Ms. Mohr explained that those people who only put one bag of garbage in a 90-gallon can should not have to pay the same amount as those who overflow the 90-gallon can. She felt by phasing in the 60-gallon cans, people will be more waste conscious. Mayor Mercer said that instead of changing to 90-gallon cans, Council should have required 30-gallon cans. Then people would be forced to recycle because there would not be enough room for all disposals in one can. Mr. Tarvet said that people have to get wiser in their shopping habits and not buy products with excessive packaging. Mr. Tarver believed that continuing the use of 90-gallon cans does not encourage citizens to reduce the waste stream. Mr. Butler disagreed. He stated that there is far more then packaging that goes into household garbage. It depends on the size of households. Mayor Mercer stated that nothing motivates people to throw garbage away. The City's recycling program is set up so that if one did not want to separate recyclable products from non- recyclables the person does not have to. It was moved by Ms. Mohr, and seconded by Mar. Tarver, that Resolution No. 92-164 be adopted, approving an amendment to the refuse collection rates, rescinding the fee schedules set forth in Resolution No. 92-26, and establishing revised fixed and uniform refuse collection rates for the City of Pleasanton.
