Staff Update

Organics Recycling
As of the writing of this case, forty-one (41) residents have signed up for the Organics Recycling Pilot Project.  Of those, thirty-two (32) have actually picked up their organics starter kit.  ACE Solid Waste will be providing monthly reports to the City tracking weights collected through this pilot program.

Summer Recycling Event
The first ever Summer Recycling Event was held on July 29.  While there was not the initial rush of vehicles coming through the event, it still was a busy and successful event.   There were 260 vehicles that came through the event, which is fairly comparable with many of the fall recycling events.  After the Fall Recycling Event (September 30), Staff will assess whether the summer event had any impact on the fall numbers before determining whether to continue with it in future years.
