“everybody's feeling the costs rise intensely right now, but I'm not sure we have much choice. I'm not really, really happy about it, but I do hope that we have a culture of community with our contractor, and if we're able to save some money on this down the road and they find that we're spending less because the community is recycling, then hopefully Alaska Waste would reciprocate.”

Um, everybody's feeling the costs rise intensely right now, but I'm not sure we have much choice. I'm not really, really happy about it, but I do hope that we have a culture of community with our contractor, and if we're able to save some money on this down the road and they find that we're spending less because the community is recycling, then hopefully Alaska Waste would reciprocate. But yeah, that's just stuff I wanted to state for the record. Thank you. Mr. Smiley.
