Board members discussed strategies to reduce recycling contamination, including permanently labeling bins with clear stickers showing what goes in each container. Victoria said bin stickers on the container itself reach more people than occasional outreach materials: "The percentage of people that you're gonna actually get information to is so small compared to everybody who's got a bin. So just put where they need it." Dylan reported he previously met with West Linn Refuse & Recycling and suggested inviting the company to brief the board on food‑waste and bin changes.
Members noted upcoming statewide recycling standardization may change bin colors and that sticker costs may be a factor; they agreed to add inviting the refuse provider and parks/facilities staff to a future meeting as an action item to clarify feasibility and costs.
