On October 26, City Council approved a green cart program for residential food waste. The program will help keep food waste out of the landfill and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The City will start to prepare for the new program. Next steps include:

• exploring options to buy and distribute green carts;
• creating a green cart collection plan;
• applying for environmental permits, including public engagement; and
• planning a food waste processing facility.
