Sustainability Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />February 15, 2023 <br />Page 5 of 7 <br />Dan asked about the GHG emissions associated with DeliverZero traveling <br />around town to pick up the reusable containers and Kayla said she would look <br />into this. Megan asked if there are other options for composting since Al <br />Organics is reducing the items accepted into the compost stream. Kayla said that <br />Al is the only compost processor in the area at this time and the City is <br />discussing this change with many other municipalities to determine the best <br />strategy.

She asked that the City research Ridwell's recycling end - <br />markets before moving forward with a partnership. She asked what actually <br />happens with the items Ridwell collects? She also added that the events at <br />Kestrel and Parco Dello Zingaro are great. Todd asked if the City plans to move <br />forward with all 5 programs. Kayla said that all of the options will remain so that <br />businesses can use the options as a `menu' to choose from. Todd asked if option <br />5 only provides grants for containers?
