Dear Mayor Turner and Esteemed Council Members,

We demand that you cancel the fatally flawed recycling contract being considered by the City Council. It's a bad deal for Houston's citizens that will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. We want to support the environment, but we don't want to pay a garbage tax to support business as usual. 

We urgently request that you start a fair comprehensive zero waste bidding process, which must allow all options, including One Bin approaches, to be considered side-by-side under the same evaluation criteria.

Only then will we be assured that Houston residents are getting the best deal possible for their pocket books and the planet.
