Summary

Compost bags have been removed from the Sunnyside site; the DPW said it will consider alternative approaches such as a bag dispenser to secure the materials because bags are difficult to keep in the bin.

The commission discussed problems securing neighborhood compost bags at the Sunnyside site after members reported compost bags were being taken from the bin. Pat Mason said DPW will consider alternative approaches, including installing a bag dispenser, because it is difficult to secure loose bags inside the existing bin.

No firm solution or timeline was decided at the meeting; the commission listed the issue for DPW follow up and asked staff to explore potential dispensers or containment changes to reduce unintended removal of bags.
