Participants can bring all food scraps for collection, including <br />those which are not recommended for backyard compost. The organic waste is collected weekly by Brooks <br />Contractors, a local commercial composting company. <br />The food waste collection program requires a monitor who sets up the collection station, changes out full <br />bins, counts patrons, helps avoid bin contamination, and provides guidance to program participants. <br />Funding will be used to pay a part-time staff member to perform these duties. This program helps the Town <br />fulfill Ecosystem Recommendation #3 in its 2017 Community Climate Action Plan, which directs staff to <br />accelerate efforts to study and implement a comprehensive organics collection and composting program. <br />The program will also help the Town reach its greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal of an 80% <br />reduction in 2010 emissions levels by 2030. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 925D6FBC-24A8-425B-8158-E760CA6EAD2A
