Curbside Recycling Contamination Campaign
At a glance
- What: Fall outreach and enforcement effort to cut contamination in curbside recycling for one-to-six-unit buildings.
- Where it stands: Outreach (social media, door hangers, volunteer canvassing on the highest-contamination collection days) runs through October and early November, after which still-contaminated bins will not be collected. A similar 2022 campaign was said to work well.
