Recycling Proposal Passes in Shepherd



The Village of Shepherd Recycling Proposal was passed Tuesday with a final vote count of 61% to 39%.

The new proposal includes weekly curbs-side pick-up for each home and also recycling bins around the city. Trudy Shattuck a resident of the Village of Shepherd voted for the proposal and was happy to see it get approved.

“I am just happy to see we are taking necessary steps needed to improve the environment”, Shattuck said. “I also feel it is going to help improve our city as well.”

Not all Shepherd residents voted for the proposal however, and those who did are a little skeptical. Debbie Barker is a long time resident of Shepherd and is not too happy about the proposal being passed.

“It was really sugarcoated while it was being explained and presented to us but we were never told how much money this will need if passed”, Barker said.

Although Barker is not very enthusiastic about the proposal being passed she does hope the proposal is a success.

“ I am not against recycling” Said Barker” I just thought we could have done it a little better, but I do hope it does very well.”
