Resident urges Park Ridge to clarify backyard composting guidance, offers technical fixes

Amy Bartucci, who identified herself as a Park Ridge resident and organizer with the community group Go Green Park Ridge, used the public‑comment period to press the commission to correct city web guidance about backyard composting and to offer technical support. "The website for the city of Park Ridge is saying that food scraps in your backyard pile are not allowed," Bartucci said, and she said that language is confusing for residents and undercuts local diversion goals.
