Recycling Program Update

    

Kendall Welch provided update to the board on the Parkville Curbside Recycling Program, which began September 2, 2006.  Ms. Welch reported that the number of participants in the program must go up or the program will go away.  Mayor Dusenbery reported that her household has signed up now for the program and she challenged the board to sign up by April 17th.  Ms. Welch the cost to participate in the program is less than the cost for one person to go to a movie.  She expressed gratitude to Kevin Blacksher for his willingness to serve as the curbside recycling provider for the City of Parkville.  She noted that the Riss Lake Homes Association contracts with Deffenbaugh for their curbside recycling as does The National, however in The National the fee is automatically covered in their association fees while in Riss Lake, it’s optional.   At this time, she said, active participation in curbside recycling is at 50% in The National and 17% in Riss Lake.

 

Nadja Karpilow from the MARC Solid Waste District also addressed the board to explain that pro-active measures now will help the environment and save money in the long run since landfills are rapidly filling up.  One local landfill, she said, recently closed and as more reach that point the result will be higher fees to use those that remain or to address transportation costs resulting from use of landfill sites farther away.  Ms. Karpilow noted that Parkville City Project Manager Dan Koch is the city liaison for this issue should anyone need more information or have questions regarding recycling in Parkville.
