Commission discusses Bristow cleanup, transfer-station materials and recycling program updates
Summary
At a short April 10 meeting without a quorum, commissioners reviewed a tree removal in Bristow, a volunteer repair to a bird-seed shed, deferred details on Connecticut's nip-bottle recycling program, transfer station brochure stamping, and a twice-weekly food-scraps pickup whose schedule was not specified.
With no quorum present at the April 10 meeting, the New Canaan Conservation Commission used the time for operational updates on town maintenance and recycling programs.
Commission members reported that a tree at the Bristow site came down and that volunteer Lars Anderson repaired a bird-seed shed damaged in the area. Robin Bates Mason said she inspected Bristow and "didn't see any issues." She also outlined a brief description of the Connecticut "nip bottle" recycling program, saying the program covers the small liquor bottles that cannot otherwise be recycled and that funds generated are used by municipalities for recycling and litter-cleanup initiatives; the commission said the transfer station has a redeemable can shed for that purpose, but noted that full program details will be provided at a later meeting.
The commission discussed printing logistics for transfer-station brochures and agreed to include a "sticker enclosed" stamp on materials. Commissioners also noted that the town's food-scraps pickup will occur twice weekly; the meeting record did not specify which days the collections will occur and commissioners said they would follow up with the department that operates the pickups.
Because the meeting lacked a quorum, no official approvals or motions were recorded; the commission postponed minutes and any formal actions until a future meeting.
