The Big Belly in Town Square is full -- the container will not open. Have the new batteries been ordered for all the Big Bellies? The batteries last 5-7 years. I believe we are on year seven or eight. Jim Poss, Big Belly inventor, has emailed Kellie Stickney about them, saying, "just like a car battery, they need to be replaced from time to time. They are 99%+ recyclable, and about $30. Even better, would be to get them connected to the internet again, as the management can then be done from anywhere in the world, and Bigbelly service dept. can alert the city before any problems arise." I believe he still lives on Bainbridge because he also offered to help/guide the replacement process.
Blackbird's wasn't working the week before and filled up by noon, as did the trash container behind it, leaving the paired recycling container as the only hole for trash disposal. Please install the new batteries ASAP!!! Thank you.
