Committee advances town composting pilot with Garbage to Garden, narrows drop-off options
Summary
The committee received approval from town staff to proceed with a Composting Pilot Program administered by Garbage to Garden, discussed possible drop-off sites (Town Hall, Library, Bowling Alley, Dorothy Stevens, Washington Hose, Hannaford) and set next steps for spring implementation.
The Energy Efficiency Sustainability Committee said town staff has cleared the way to start a Composting Pilot Program with contractor Garbage to Garden and outlined likely next steps for early spring implementation.
Leah Ingram announced that Brian Laverriere had reviewed the funding schedule and given the committee the go-ahead to set up a pilot with Garbage to Garden; members responded positively and generated questions for the vendor. The committee discussed public-education strategies and considered several potential drop-off locations, including Town Hall, the Library, the Bowling Alley, Dorothy Stevens and Washington Hose. Linda Miller Cleary said she would speak with Hannaford about serving as an additional drop-off option.
The Composting Group will meet to work on next steps and town education. At the same meeting, Tony Dater moved to change the committee’s next meeting date to Feb. 5 to focus on the upcoming budget; Tom Schenck seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The committee did not take a formal vote to select final drop-off locations at this meeting.
