What the viewers think about charging schools for garbage collection

Do you think public schools should be required to pay for garbage collection? That’s the question we posed to viewers on Thursday night and most who voted are against the proposed fee. Seventy-six percent of voters on our e-poll rejected the fees while the twenty-four percent agreed that schools should pay. One viewer commented saying “Everyone should pay something: residents, businesses, and schools. Why is everything expected to be free?” while another who is against the fee said “If the schools are going to be required to pay for garbage collection, who is really going to wind up paying are the parents.” The decision on whether or not Belize Waste Control will implement the fees is expected to come out of meetings with the schools.
