Committee recommends RFP for trash compactor; food-waste container placement still pending

Town of Canaan STEAP Implementation Committee · April 15, 2026

Summary

On April 15 the STEAP Implementation Committee voted unanimously to recommend the Board of Selectmen issue an RFP for a trash compactor to DECD and town attorney Kevin Nelligan; the committee said placement of a food-waste container requires BOS and Transfer Station manager input.

At the April 15, 2026 special meeting the committee voted unanimously to recommend that the Board of Selectmen send an RFP for a trash compactor to the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development and to town attorney Kevin Nelligan. The motion was made by Greg Marlowe and seconded by Catherine Wales.

Minutes record that discussion also addressed a food-waste container but that the committee deferred final placement until the Board of Selectmen and the Transfer Station manager decide a site. No costs, vendor lists, or RFP text were provided in the minutes; the committee's action was a recommendation to the BOS rather than an award of contract.
