Westwood committee weighs fate of Trex recycling program amid pickup issues
Summary
The committee agenda flagged whether to continue or terminate the Trex Recycling program, citing ongoing pick-up schedule and reporting issues and noting the delivery of the last earned bench; the public agenda does not record a decision or vote.
The Borough of Westwood Environmental Advisory Committee’s March 16 agenda lists discussion points for the Trex Recycling program, including whether to continue or terminate the program, ongoing issues with the pick-up schedule and reporting, and the delivery of the last earned bench.
The agenda language indicates the committee intended to weigh operational problems against the program’s benefits, but the posted agenda does not include a record of committee debate, recommended corrective steps, or a motion to continue or end the program. No pickup schedule details, vendor names, or reporting metrics are provided.
Why it matters: Trex Recycling programs typically collect plastic film for recycling and can include community incentives such as benches earned by recycled volume; operational reliability and reporting affect participation and whether the program remains viable for the borough.
The agenda does not record a formal vote or motion on the Trex program; no outcome is captured in the publicly posted agenda text.
