Committee plans to remove mixed-recycling dumpster to cut costs; users will sort more material
Summary
Committee proposal would eliminate the mixed-recycling dumpster to save on monthly costs; the minutes note this change would require more sorting by recycling users and would remove a higher-cost service.
The committee recorded a proposal to remove the mixed-recycling dumpster and its access deck as part of a relocation plan. The minutes state this step would save money on monthly collection costs but would shift more sorting responsibility onto users.
No dollar amounts or vendor contract details were provided in the minutes; the committee noted savings as a rationale but did not record a formal cost estimate. Members said they would notify users of the change via website updates, flyers, signage and volunteers before and after any move.
Committee members discussed monitoring the new setup during construction for access, parking and sorting challenges, and agreed to revisit the arrangement at a future meeting. The minutes indicate no formal vote was taken on removing the dumpster at the March 26 session.
