DISCUSSION--Recycling Regulation <br /> Charles Gasi r introduced himself to the Board. Mr. Gaslor is a member of the two-member <br /> a tepee Recycling Committee, along with Catherine Laurent. <br /> For the past several years, the eight trash-hauling <br /> - companies licensed in f n 'ee have not been <br /> Prov'ding the required B H report of their monthly recycling <br /> figures. Sorge of the trash-hauling <br /> companies have declined requests from condominium inium residents and home owners in I lashpee to <br /> provide recycling. Waste-Management, for one, when called by a Mashpee resident, was told <br /> that they do not offer recycling services. Others are ofl`edrig the service but are charging extra for <br /> the service. <br /> Glenn Santos suggested that the Town have a televised public meeting on January 0 <br /> and sn it representatives of the trash haulers, the Ma, hpee Recycling Co r�itte , the <br /> Department f Public Works, anal the Ma hpee Board of Selectmen to discuss the recycling <br /> regulation, the cornpainies' noncompliance, and possible-so lutions,to revarnp the r ul tion to <br /> have in place-by 2008. The intention of the hearing would be to get all.parties on the samepag e. <br /> With input from the haulers, the BOH will explore varii ups options to ncourage more recycling, <br /> including financial incentives. The BOH Recycling Regulation will be updated to match current <br /> stat& policy, such as including more recycling options than are now required, i.e., various types of <br /> plastic, metal cars, and glass. Mr. Gasior suggested that trash haulers should be made aware of <br /> the recycling regulations when'they come to the BOH to renew their trash hauling license. Glen <br /> Harrington agreed to,send out a letter to the.haulers reminding them that their hauling <br /> permit requires that they offer the recycling service, and that monthly BOH recyclin report orfs are <br /> required. The Board members agreed to move forward with the plan fora televised hearing at the <br /> BOH meeting on January 24, 2007. <br /> The next meeting of the Board of Health is scheduled for Wednesday, January 101 200 7' at :o <br /> PM, in the Board of Health office, Town Hall. - <br /> s there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:35 Pel. <br /> l especffully submitted, <br /> h4Ina G.
