SUMMARY:Vote YES on June 16 to reduce Waste
DESCRIPTION:What if we could cut down a third of Lexington's household tras
 h?\nVoting YES at the special Election on June 16 offers us a chance to d
 o just that!\n\n- Voting YES is a climate action to reduce trash. YES mea
 ns the town will still collect one free bin of trash per household weekly 
 and may charge a reasonable fee for trash in excess of one bin. According 
 to MassDEP\, charging fees for excess trash is the single most effective w
 ay to reduce municipal solid waste. Lexington is behind - half of Massachu
 setts towns already have similar programs and see a 25-50% reduction in tr
 ash!\n\n- Voting YES will enable town staff to continue to develop a tras
 h program that reduces trash tonnage and spending\, distributes trash cost
 s more equitably and saves tax dollars for other vital services.\n\n- Voti
 ng YES is a proven method for reducing trash\, which limits the greenhouse
  gases produced from creating and incinerating trash that goes up in smoke
  and creates pollution that affects environmental justice communities.\n\n
 Where does all that "waste" go? It gets diverted into sustainable systems
 :\n\n- Food Waste Composting\n\n- Mindful and Enhanced Recycling \n\n- Do
 nate &amp\; Reuse\n\n- Conscious purchasing and consumerism\n\nThe climate
  connection is clear! Voting YES is taking action!\nWe need a STRONG turno
 ut. Vote YES on June 16.\nLet’s cut the waste!\nVisit the YES Campaign!\
