Commission agrees to explore adding Recology front‑loader to handle Little League cardboard
Summary
San Benito County staff briefed the commission on a Little League request for an additional recycling front‑loader (dumpster) to manage cardboard. The commission asked staff to get a marked location from Recology and to circulate it for approval; Recology will bill the league directly.
The commission considered a Little League request to add a recycling front‑loader unit to Veterans Memorial Park to accommodate excessive cardboard from concessions.
Public Works staff said Recology requires a written email from the commission confirming approval to change service at the park before it will alter its scope of work. Staff recommended having the league mark a proposed location so Recology could confirm siting and size. Commissioners asked that the unit not remove parking stalls and that the container be lockable if theft or scavenging is a concern.
There was no formal roll call vote on the item; commissioners present indicated they were comfortable directing staff to request a marked location from Recology and to circulate the site plan to the commission for a final approval email. Public Works said the county would not incur additional cost; Recology and the Little League would handle service charges.
Ending — Next steps: Public Works will ask Little League/Recology to provide a marked site plan for the front‑loader and will circulate the proposed location to commissioners; if the location is acceptable the commission will send the confirmation email to Recology.
