Environmental Board <br />August 26, 2015 <br />Page 5 <br />There was organics recycling collection at Corn Fest and Blue Heron Days. Corn <br />Fest had an 88% waste diversion rate. <br />B. Blue Heron Days Review <br />This year, board members walked through the parade early to collect items before <br />the end of the event and found this very successful. <br />Board members asked that contact be made with the parade organizer to provide the <br />following observations:Q-. <br />- More candy was distributed at the parade than could be picked -up or <br />consumed. <br />- Candy should be handed to parade -goers rather than thrown to prevent <br />children from running into the street. <br />- Tootsie rolls were melting and sticking to the pavement, making clean up <br />more difficult. The board suggests tootsie rolls be banned at future parades. <br />- Many attendees did not recycle because of a lack of recycling bins along the <br />parade route. Board members suggest there be an identifiable recycling bin <br />paired with each garbage bin along the route. <br />8. ADJOURNMENT <br />Mr. Sullivan made a MOTION to adjourn the meeting at 8:08 p.m. Motion was <br />supported by Ms. Bor. Motion carried 5 — 0 (Ms. Kaufenberg abstained). <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Aubrey Fonfara - Recycling Intern <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br />
