​Tri-Community Recycling Ad-Hoc Committee

The TCRC administered a community-wide Recycling and Composting Survey in September, 2020. General observations from that survey are that:
  1. residents and business-owners feel confident in their knowledge of how and what to recycle, are passionate about recycling,
  2. would recycle on a weekly basis but are not satisfied with the current recycling procedures that are in place.
  3. Resident sentiment remains unclear whether the yellow bags are still to be used for recycling and have a lack of confidence that recycling materials are being processed correctly.
  4. A significant number of respondents indicated that they would like “reassurance that all eligible materials are actually being recycled.”
  5. When responding to the questions regarding composting, the majority indicated that they do not currently compost and are not sure if they would use a compost site it one was available.
  6. In addition, the majority of respondents indicated that they would “support the elimination of non-recyclable plastic bags, Styrofoam or non-recyclable plastic containers/utensils, in our community.”
  7. Residents are interested in receiving educational materials and updates regarding composting and recycling, through direct mail, social media, via the municipality webpage and, for business-owners, via the CVB and/or SDABA listservs.
