A discussion followed <br />about potential expanded use of volunteers to assist citizens with information at the <br />unstaffed recycling dropoff sites and perhaps the staffed sites as well. <br /> <br />Topic D.

The Towns of Carrboro and Hillsborough representatives <br />must be identified. <br /> <br />Topic E: Programs and Services Update: Various recent activities by the Department <br />were reviewed including the Rogers Road cleanup and the ‘ReUse Rodeo”, which was <br />the first in the nation held with the newly constituted National Reuse Alliance.
