Waste team plans popup swap shops, eyes permanent swap site near transfer station
Summary
Diane said the waste team is pursuing popup swap shops as a first step and wants a permanent swap shop at or near the transfer station; the team plans a fall/winter educational series and is recruiting members for the committee.
Diane, a committee member, said the waste team is exploring popup swap shops with the "ultimate goal of the city having a permanent swap shop at the transfer station or nearby," though she cautioned that achieving a permanent facility will require more work and partnership.
She said the team is also planning a short fall/winter series of events — including free outdoor movie screenings and educational programming such as "The Story of Stuff" — to engage residents and recruit waste committee members. Diane said the team has not yet met since submitting draft materials but plans to convene before September to organize these activities.
The waste team intends to partner with other community groups and to use neighborhood meetings and recreational events to promote the swap shops and recruit volunteers.
