Knight letter: Compost containers

In reference to Lloyd Warner’s trash and recycling letter, dated May 5, I agree. Bribery and/or dictatorship? I do not like being forced into using a “compost” container, and if I refuse, I will be charged more money to “opt out.” Why was this not put to the people for a vote? Whatever happened to a democratic society?
