Public works briefs commissioners on cleanup week, landfill and recycling updates
Summary
Public works staff reported cleanup week dates (11th–16th), landfill and recycling operations, and noted low market value for some recycling streams; household hazardous waste planning was also discussed.
Public works staff (speaker 5) updated the board on solid‑waste operations and cleanup week logistics.
Staff reported cleanup week will run from the 11th through the 16th and that the city will provide two workers to assist. The landfill and recycling operations are functioning, staff said, although some recycling streams (particularly PET bottles) have low market value, so staff will hold those materials for now. Household hazardous waste (HHW) pickup is planned for next week if staff can assemble the needed container.
Commissioners asked practical questions about what residents may bring during cleanup week—mowers, tires under 20 inches and other non‑liquid items were permitted—and staff confirmed conditions and limits.
