Title

January 2020 Residential Sustainability Report

 

Recommended Action Motion

N/A

 

Body

The ESB will review and discuss the January 2020 Residential Sustainability Report. The data now includes more data and graphs that will demonstrate overall diversion as a result of the new yard trimming program which began on July 9, 2018.

 

Most recent additions to the report include greenhouse gas emissions reduced by recycling and composting. There is also a significant increase in yard trimmings as the collection schedule was adjusted to recover the brush material in December.

 

The yard trimming has been voluntarily embraced by the community, with support from 63% or 4,315 households. Currently each household is limited to one cart per household to ensure each household has the ability to participate in the yard trimming program.
