| | | | | | | | AGENDA ITEM TITLE:
Recycling Education Grant
|
| | | | | | | | PRESENTER:
Robert Beaudoin, Superintendent of Environmental Services & Julia Greene, Greenworks | ITEM NUMBER:
I.3
|
|
| | | | | | | | SUMMARY:
This grant opportunity is an educational grant through the MADEP related to contaminated recycling (please see attached) and how that is effecting the market. The intent is to educate residents on the need to ensure recyclable containers include only recyclable material and that there is no contamination (food, non-recyclables, etc.). It also requires the Town to develop a inspection and warning/rejection program to ensure the material included in recycling bins is non-contaminated recyclables. This does include warnings and then rejections (with a sticker explaining why recycling was not collected). Given the policy nature of this discussion, staff is requesting the Board review and develop a consensus whether the DPW should move forward.

| | | | | | | | SUGGESTED MOTION:
At this point, we are seeking a general consensus whether the Board agrees with the concept as it will be presented.
