WASTE REDUCTION WEEK John Brynildson and Mike Haglund were assigned to <br /> coordinate activities in connection with 1995 Waste Reduction Week, which is the last week <br /> in September. One proposal is to invite displays from all of the haulers licensed to operate in <br /> the city. <br /> DISCUSSIONS WITH HAULERS AND RECYCIER In order to educate the <br /> Commission about the current state of solid waste and hazardous waste disposal and recycling, <br /> and to identify issues requiring attention, the Commission will be inviting each licensed <br /> garbage hauler, as well as the citywide recycling contractor, to meet with the Commission <br /> (one at a time) for a general discussion of ideas, problems, and issues. EZ Recycling has <br /> been invited to attend the March meeting for this purpose, and each hauler will be invited to <br /> attend a subsequent meeting. The Commission went on to discuss possible topics for <br /> discussion with EZ at the March meeting, including the separation of recyclables (mixed mail, <br /> colored glass, etc.), opportunities for sale of recyclables, expanding the range of items <br /> collected, disposal of oil and batteries, contamination of recyclables, and concerns or <br /> information that F2 may want to pass on to the community. <br /> NEWPORT FACILITY: The Commission will be schedviing a field trip to the Newport <br /> recycling facility, but no date was established. <br /> REVIEW AND UPDATE OF SOLID WASTE ORDINANCES: The Commission has <br /> postponed its review and discussion of City ordinances ralatina to solid waste until the <br /> conclusion of the State legislative session so that any relevant changes in state law can be <br /> addressed at the same time. <br /> On the motion of Barbara Leary, seconded by Susan Smith, the meeting was adjourned at <br /> 8:25 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Susan K. Smith, Secretary <br /> 3 <br />
