Summary

Phil reported the town compost initiative currently runs two volunteer bins per week and the council recorded 3,156.5 gallons collected last year; members discussed potential aerobic composting and site constraints.

Phil provided the monthly compost update, reporting that two volunteers are maintaining current operations and that the program collected 3,156.5 gallons last year, a figure the clerk confirmed as recorded in the minutes. "3156.5," the chair read aloud when the total was confirmed for the record.

Members discussed whether to expand capacity or move to an aerobic composting field if a suitable town site becomes available; they noted the question of who would benefit from a larger facility (town plantings versus public access) and whether more volunteers or formal town workflow changes would be required.
