I think Lucy is right; if kids took them they’d throw them away too.
Which doesn’t necessarily mean that anyone from the BioGas group is involved. There could be many people who would rather not have the angry red “No BioWaste” signs peppering Elmira’s streets.
Anyone trying to attract business to Elmira, say, wouldn’t want the signs up.
Anyone trying to sell a house. When people are house hunting, they look closely at lawn signs. People may well think twice before moving to Elmira with a Bio-waste facility in the works.
Of course, after the Bio-Waste facility is up and running it will be even harder to sell an Elmira house. Not just in the immediate vicinity, anywhere. The smell will effect all of the downtown; not just that day. Why would anyone want to move to the farthest out of the new subdivisons if the core is going to smell like a composter?
Another good reason why the Woolwich Council needs to fight hard against this.
I don’t think anyone has a problem with green energy sources, but this is not something that should be placed in a settlement area.
