To the Editor:/ I am writing to propose that something be done about the garbage in the streets of Bayonne. I recently moved here, and while the city seems to be up and coming, I am appalled at the trash on the sidewalk that I see daily as I walk from the 8th street light …
To the Editor: Elite Waste Services apologizes for my company’s inability to provide quality service to the city of Bayonne. My company was hired to collect the recyclables for the city under an emergency two-month contract. As many of you know, that job didn’t get done completely. As a resident of the city and a …
To the Editor: I am dismayed that the Community News is misleading its readers by saying professionals say defeating the project could hurt the city when in fact it’s the project itself that risks setting a precedent that may cost the city more than it can gain.
