Committee renews annual cooperative recycling agreement with Brown County
Summary
The Improvement and Services Committee approved renewing the city's cooperative recycling agreement with Brown County for 2026, continuing a long‑standing partnership to meet state recycling outreach requirements.
The Improvement and Services Committee on Sept. 10 voted to renew Green Bay’s annual cooperative recycling agreement with Brown County for 2026.
Public Works staff said the city, as a responsible unit under state recycling regulations, partners with Brown County for outreach programs such as an online "waste wizard" and a county recycling guide. "They do a lot of outreach to make sure people know what needs to be recycled," a Public Works staff member said.
Committee members briefly praised the county tools during discussion. A motion to approve the renewal passed by voice vote and will be forwarded to the full Common Council on Sept. 16 for final approval.
The agreement was described as a routine, long‑standing partnership that has been in place for about 20 years; detailed contract language and any fiscal terms were not read into the record during the meeting.
