Board of Selectmen Minutes June 17, 2019 APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS Department of Public Works Director Catherine Laurent: Discussion of New Recycling Procedures at the Transfer Station: Catherine Laurent, DPW Director was in attendance to review the separation and implementation plan for the recycling program changes at the Transfer Station. As recommended and supported by the Board, the single stream recycling is separated into 5 streams; glass, cans, newspaper, mixed paper and plastic. For ease of distinction, all recycling will be blue. New signage will emphasize with graphics what each container is used for. Bins will be fully accessible. It was recommended that a speed bump be incorporated into the layout of the recycling area for safety. Advertisement on the Town's website and in the local newspaper will clarify the process for the users of the recycling area. The proposed new recycling program will minimize costs to the Town for recycling and minimize the amount of separation required. Grant funding assisted with the purchase of the roll-off bins. The Town is obligated to comply with MA DEP waste ban regulations and with the new changes, the overall cost to the Town will be less for trash disposal.
