Hi,
I’m writing to express concern about the City of Lathrop’s new food waste disposal guidelines sent by Republic Services, which prohibit the use of kitchen bags and instead recommend placing food waste in paper bags or directly into the bin.
As you may know, most food waste is not dry. Disposing of it without a proper liner leads to leaks, foul odors, and an increased risk of attracting insects, rodents, and other animals. This not only creates an unsanitary environment for residents but also increases health and safety risks in our neighborhoods.
