Over at the "Welcome to Williams Lake" website (http://www.welcometowilliamslake.ca), they have an article on Brian Stefan (local Canadian Tire owner) providing both glass bins for recycling and tire bins for recycling. On this issue, it really is shameful that the City/CRD jointly doesn't provide this service and the residents' depend on a business owner to provide these bins at his expense, when this is something local government should be providing, has the budget for and the space at the local Central Cariboo Transfer Station
The article in question is here

What is wrong with you. You bitch about the City doing everything and then, when a great citizen takes it upon himself to help out and be a "good citizen" this is the City's fault. Seriously, it no wonder you never get elected for anything.

While I agree that Brian Stefan has been a great corporate citizen in Williams Lake, I would suggest to you that the recycling of glass/tires is a local government responsibility.
Furthermore, Mr. Stefan pays a lot of tax dollars to the City and I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that he's entitled to receive all forms of recycling services from the City/CRD from the tax dollars he sends to City Hall
By Mr. Stefan having to provide a bin for the recycling of glass and tires - that in my view is a failure of leadership by City Council/CRD Directors to provide the very recycling services that taxpayers' expect to be provided by their tax dollars and not by individual business dollars
As for the election, just wait and if I decide to run, then you can run a campaign to prevent me from getting elected, if you believe I don't deserve to be an elected official at City Hall
