Green Up Day: commission praises volunteers, reports $253 collected for tires and hazardous-waste coordination
Summary
Commissioners praised volunteers at Green Up Day, noted $253 collected for tires, hazardous-waste collections coordinated with local districts, and suggested improved signage and drop-off logistics for next year.
At the May 11 meeting, Troi Perkins presented a summary of Green Up Day activities, saying the event attracted many volunteers and that a community lunch and raffle items were well received. Final participation numbers were not yet available, but Troi reported $253 was collected for tires and that hazardous-waste items and some appliances were collected through coordination with local waste districts.
Commissioners thanked volunteers and discussed logistics improvements for next year, including better signage and earlier collection of some items. Members also raised public-safety concerns about excessive drinking along roadways during the cleanup and the volume of bottles and cans found at some sites; the commission recommended working with local partners to tighten drop-off organization and waste disposal planning.
