waste reduction

Whether staff reports back on the garbage sticker vendor complaint, and whether recycling bin nets move from idea to a specific plan (locations, upkeep, cost).

Typically discussed at Environmental Advisory Board. Check back when the next agenda is published.

This topic has been mostly small, practical stuff: one resident complaint about being forced to buy an extra item to get garbage stickers, and a separate discussion about recycling bin nets to keep litter from blowing around. The next real test is whether either item turns into a clear fix residents can actually see and use.

  1. Staff reported a resident contacted Engineering the same day about being told they had to buy an extra item to purchase city garbage stickers at a local business; staff said they would look into it.
