Approved January 31 , 2023 <br /> del Campo Gatewood states that all communication will go through the Solid Waste team. <br /> Hamilton asks how will tracking of how well you are doing on the community engagement piece <br /> take place - how many people, the places, the difficulties. <br /> del Campo Gatewood states that there are frequent progress meetings with Solid Waste staff <br /> where we share information. We are open to suggestions. <br /> Young states that the survey should include what groups are participating. We should be able <br /> to see every week where things are. If there are shortages, we will work with other agencies to <br /> make the correction. <br /> Williams states that once the information comes in, we will also let SWAG know if there is a <br /> shortage because you all may have another idea for outreach. <br /> Hamilton asks how many weeks is the survey. <br /> Porter replies it's a 12 week period, mid-October to mid-January <br /> Operational Updates <br /> Recycling Drop-off Site Replacement <br /> Simmons states that the Chapel Hill Transit Director, Brian Litchford, is working with the Town <br /> attorney to look at the contract for the Jones Ferry Park & Ride lot to see what options are <br /> available to adjust the agreement to allow a recycling drop-off site. <br /> Haven-O'Donnell asks is the Jones Ferry lot an addition to one that has been identified in <br /> Chapel Hill. <br /> Simmons replies this is an additional site located in Carrboro not Chapel Hill. I don't know of <br /> any other sites that have been identified in Chapel Hill. <br /> Hemminger states that there hasn't been much squawking since the site left University Place. <br /> Most people are using Cedar Falls or the Meadowmont locations. We have been looking for a <br /> location but haven't had much luck finding a replacement in that same area. <br /> Bradshaw/Ferguson Waste & Recycling Center Consolidation <br /> Williams states that we are moving forward with OWASA to purchase property for a new <br /> consolidated site <br /> Urban Recycling-FY25 <br /> Williams states that the urban collection contract for urban recycling collection ends with Fiscal <br /> year 2025. We are looking at options which include bringing the service in-house to have Solid <br /> Waste staff provide collection. <br /> Orange County Recycling Star Program Update <br /> Haven-O'Donnell asks is there a video of what goes in the recycling bin. Carrboro could put on <br /> their website what it looks like to successfully recycle. <br /> Young replies no we have not done a video. This is very labor intensive. <br /> Haven-O'Donnell asks where Carrboro is on the schedule. <br /> Young replies we are not doing the urban routes at this time because our drivers don't service <br /> that area. <br /> Haven-O'Donnell suggest working with the schools to make videos or social media with <br /> students to get the message out. <br /> Next Meeting <br /> Williams states that after the surveys have been completed, we can come back to discuss. <br /> Public comment <br /> None <br /> Adjourn <br /> Meeting adjourned at:7:40pm <br /> Name of Minute Taker: Wanda McCain <br />
