00:03:26.982 --> 00:03:30.356
management plan, as this is both
an in person and virtual

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/609-3
00:03:30.356 --> 00:03:33.848
meeting, we ask that those who
wish to speak to raise their

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/609-4
00:03:33.848 --> 00:03:37.513
hand and hold statements until
the moderator recognizes you to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/609-5
00:03:37.513 --> 00:03:39.026
allow us time to Mike you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/629-0
00:03:40.346 --> 00:03:42.747
You do not have to be attending
a person to ask questions or

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/629-1
00:03:42.747 --> 00:03:43.416
make a statement.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/638-0
00:03:43.506 --> 00:03:45.216
Just use the raise hand feature.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/665-0
00:03:45.366 --> 00:03:48.951
I think sometimes too, when
there's a group of people, if

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/665-1
00:03:48.951 --> 00:03:52.041
we're talking that sometimes
gets the sound, gets

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/665-2
00:03:52.041 --> 00:03:54.266
overwhelming to the virtual
people.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/689-0
00:03:54.276 --> 00:03:57.801
So just when we're here in
person, they're trying to send

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/689-1
00:03:57.801 --> 00:03:59.746
one person speaking at one time.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/711-0
00:04:01.476 --> 00:04:03.814
We'll make sure that everyone
who wishes to make a statement

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/711-1
00:04:03.814 --> 00:04:05.386
or ask a question get a chance
to do so.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/730-0
00:04:05.476 --> 00:04:08.233
We will be turning the chat
feature off for this meeting for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/730-1
00:04:08.233 --> 00:04:09.046
the virtual world.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/759-0
00:04:10.496 --> 00:04:13.703
The goal of this meeting is to
solicit input from you, the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/759-1
00:04:13.703 --> 00:04:16.800
public and all interested
stakeholders were updating the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/759-2
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:17.996
waste management plan.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/772-0
00:04:19.406 --> 00:04:21.996
I'm just a a kind of quick
reminder.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/792-0
00:04:22.206 --> 00:04:27.107

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/792-1

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/843-0
00:04:28.146 --> 00:04:32.226
January Maine has several ways

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1742-0
00:09:12.036 --> 00:09:16.016
So we pulled that up instead of
the agenda, just to kind of walk

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1742-1
00:09:16.016 --> 00:09:16.506
through.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1754-0
00:09:17.256 --> 00:09:19.136
So this is our last of these
meetings.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1766-0
00:09:19.146 --> 00:09:21.166
We had a meeting in Bristol
County.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1794-0
00:09:21.336 --> 00:09:25.773
Washington County if not Scott
County so far and well, we're

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1794-1
00:09:25.773 --> 00:09:30.064
not trying to draw too many
conclusions just based on what

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1794-2
00:09:30.064 --> 00:09:31.446
we've heard so far.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1824-0
00:09:31.516 --> 00:09:36.266
There's a couple themes that
we've heard repeated, and one of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1824-1
00:09:36.266 --> 00:09:41.093
those is how important it is to
have a well organized transfer

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1824-2
00:09:41.093 --> 00:09:41.706
station.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1835-0
00:09:42.636 --> 00:09:46.716
So people can drop waste off,
but also offer recycling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1872-0
00:09:47.766 --> 00:09:50.944
Umm, you know, actually, before
we delve into the discussion

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1872-1
00:09:50.944 --> 00:09:54.071
starters, I guess we could just
open the floor bird general

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1872-2
00:09:54.071 --> 00:09:55.686
discussion open to that for us.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1874-0
00:09:55.696 --> 00:09:57.746
Yeah, we'll save our right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1885-0
00:09:57.756 --> 00:10:00.386
We'll save our talking points
for conversation.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1893-0
00:10:00.526 --> 00:10:01.826
How would you get them going?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1896-0
00:10:01.896 --> 00:10:02.446
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1900-0
00:10:02.596 --> 00:10:02.696
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1903-0
00:10:04.196 --> 00:10:06.856
You know, so yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1911-0
00:10:06.866 --> 00:10:07.846
So let's open up the floor.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1921-0
00:10:07.856 --> 00:10:12.176
Does anyone I have a common
statement?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1973-0
00:10:12.606 --> 00:10:16.356
Yeah, Mark maritato equal mean I
guess the only thing that kind

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1973-1
00:10:16.356 --> 00:10:19.988
of threw me off in this process
is that we don't have a draft

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1973-2
00:10:19.988 --> 00:10:23.504
document to be looking at to
talk about where we're looking

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/1973-3
00:10:23.504 --> 00:10:25.496
at something from five years
ago.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2014-0
00:10:25.506 --> 00:10:29.648
And I do understand that, you
know, you don't want to put the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2014-1
00:10:29.648 --> 00:10:33.856
cart before the horse, but it's
hard for us to know, you know,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2014-2
00:10:33.856 --> 00:10:37.931
where the metrics like today
versus what happened, you know,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2014-3
00:10:37.931 --> 00:10:38.866
in 2019. Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2036-0
00:10:38.946 --> 00:10:42.075
Well, I think our whole idea is
to try this is this is what was

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2036-1
00:10:42.075 --> 00:10:42.466
in 2019.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2040-0
00:10:42.956 --> 00:10:46.146
You know we have.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2042-0
00:10:46.156 --> 00:10:46.636
What?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2057-0
00:10:46.736 --> 00:10:51.416
What from the flat plan is, was
work and didn't work.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2059-0
00:10:51.426 --> 00:10:51.636
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2061-0
00:10:51.646 --> 00:10:51.996
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2065-0
00:10:52.006 --> 00:10:52.836
And then what?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2067-0
00:10:52.906 --> 00:10:53.136
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2077-0
00:10:53.146 --> 00:10:55.176
What would you like to see
added?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2085-0
00:10:55.186 --> 00:10:59.676
So that's kind of the thought
behind it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2091-0
00:11:00.136 --> 00:11:01.006
Did you get that?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2131-0
00:11:01.016 --> 00:11:04.948
It's just if you know if there
are big changes from what the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2131-1
00:11:04.948 --> 00:11:08.752
numbers were in 2019, it's it's
hard for us if we might be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2131-2
00:11:08.752 --> 00:11:11.846
spending time on something
that's not relevant.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2138-0
00:11:12.256 --> 00:11:13.886
That's that's my only
observation.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2182-0
00:11:13.896 --> 00:11:16.840
We do know which generation and
disposal faster for two years,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2182-1
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:19.877
two years so and there is a lag
because we have to gather all of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2182-2
00:11:19.877 --> 00:11:21.326
the data we have to analyze it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2196-0
00:11:21.336 --> 00:11:24.526
We have to, you know, come up,
spin up the facts about it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2201-0
00:11:24.536 --> 00:11:25.516
What's our recycling rate?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2208-0
00:11:25.526 --> 00:11:26.886
What's up for capita disposal?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2244-0
00:11:27.076 --> 00:11:31.240
But that is more recent than
2018, and it would have been

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2244-1
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.620
good to have that blink because
that your update on your web

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2244-2
00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:39.066
page, because repeat we didn't
know about that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2248-0
00:11:39.186 --> 00:11:40.586
You know that?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2254-0
00:11:40.596 --> 00:11:41.506
Yeah, there is a.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2257-0
00:11:41.836 --> 00:11:42.666
That's a good point.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2281-0
00:11:42.736 --> 00:11:44.764
Yeah, I mean, it is on the
department and it is on the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2281-1
00:11:44.764 --> 00:11:46.976
website, but if you don't know
where to look for it, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2287-0
00:11:46.986 --> 00:11:48.156
Yeah, they're in the right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2308-0
00:11:48.716 --> 00:11:52.915
We've got some comments online
from Tony Smith and then only

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2308-1
00:11:52.915 --> 00:11:54.636
we're talking Tony muted.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2316-0
00:11:57.056 --> 00:11:58.386
How about now, Jim?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2327-0
00:11:58.396 --> 00:11:59.646
Beautiful, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2320-0
00:11:58.706 --> 00:12:00.436
You know, I.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2324-0
00:12:00.766 --> 00:12:01.796
I'm Tony Smith.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2329-0
00:12:01.806 --> 00:12:02.426
I'm a director.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2339-0
00:12:03.276 --> 00:12:07.056
Uh, the MRC and I I work with
Mike.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2363-0
00:12:07.966 --> 00:12:13.142
Umm, I don't have a problem with
going into this next five year

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2363-1
00:12:13.142 --> 00:12:15.406
plan without having a draft.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2359-0
00:12:15.796 --> 00:12:15.956
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2379-0
00:12:18.126 --> 00:12:23.814
I've looked at the current one
and it's a good template moving

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2372-0
00:12:19.856 --> 00:12:20.196
The.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2379-1
00:12:23.814 --> 00:12:24.536
forward.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2406-0
00:12:24.546 --> 00:12:29.618
I think that we can incorporate
changes we've seen in the last

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2396-0
00:12:26.666 --> 00:12:26.826
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2406-1
00:12:29.618 --> 00:12:34.046
five years and those that we
anticipate going forward.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2418-0
00:12:36.556 --> 00:12:42.256
As Mike said, we managed the
garbage for 115 municipalities

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2418-1
00:12:42.256 --> 00:12:42.636
and.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2460-0
00:12:45.186 --> 00:12:48.468
Some of that garbage is
collected directly and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2460-1
00:12:48.468 --> 00:12:52.798
indirectly brought in the our
the facility, as I'm called our

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2460-2
00:12:52.798 --> 00:12:56.989
facility where a minority owner
and some is comes by way of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2460-3
00:12:56.989 --> 00:12:58.176
transfer station.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2476-0
00:12:58.406 --> 00:13:03.274
But we feel we're we're really
well positioned to help quite a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2476-1
00:13:03.274 --> 00:13:05.206
bit, a lot going forward.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2487-0
00:13:06.196 --> 00:13:06.676
Thank you, Jim.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2484-0
00:13:07.786 --> 00:13:08.476
Thanks, Tony.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2492-0
00:13:08.926 --> 00:13:12.316
Jackie Elliott, you're muted.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2511-0
00:13:14.496 --> 00:13:21.346
Hi again, Jackie Elliott,
Citizen Waterboro DEP.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2506-0
00:13:18.086 --> 00:13:18.416
Yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2532-0
00:13:21.156 --> 00:13:23.296
And wait my.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2524-0
00:13:21.396 --> 00:13:24.606
Main waste planning groupie at
this point?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2528-0
00:13:24.836 --> 00:13:25.416
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2549-0
00:13:25.626 --> 00:13:28.803
First of all, I just want to
express my appreciation for the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2549-1
00:13:28.803 --> 00:13:30.886
fact that you have held these
meetings.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2604-0
00:13:31.216 --> 00:13:34.851
The fact that you have taken
them across the state so

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2604-1
00:13:34.851 --> 00:13:38.687
important, so important to
include the public and policy

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2604-2
00:13:38.687 --> 00:13:42.523
decisions because the choices
that are made affect human

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2604-3
00:13:42.523 --> 00:13:46.696
health and the environment and
the quality of life for all of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2604-4
00:13:46.696 --> 00:13:47.706
us is maynards.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2616-0
00:13:48.846 --> 00:13:52.119
I have noted that the public has
shown interest in these

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2616-1
00:13:52.119 --> 00:13:52.636
meetings.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2712-0
00:13:53.226 --> 00:13:56.526
I would just suggest that
perhaps there might have been

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2633-0
00:13:55.616 --> 00:13:55.756
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2712-1
00:13:56.526 --> 00:14:00.297
more public participation with
some increased advertising and I

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2712-2
00:14:00.297 --> 00:14:03.950
know we have discussed that at
previous meetings and at least

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2712-3
00:14:03.950 --> 00:14:07.309
some of the meetings being
scheduled to accommodate busy

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2712-4
00:14:07.309 --> 00:14:10.609
working folks schedules the
virtual option I believe is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2712-5
00:14:10.609 --> 00:14:14.203
vital, something I appreciate
very much as otherwise I would

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2712-6
00:14:14.203 --> 00:14:17.090
not have been able to
participate at all in this

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2712-7
00:14:17.090 --> 00:14:20.920
important issue and perhaps that
might be preferable for some of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2712-8
00:14:20.920 --> 00:14:21.156
you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2733-0
00:14:22.506 --> 00:14:26.420
There have been public
contributions at the various

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2733-1
00:14:26.420 --> 00:14:30.108
meetings that show some
interesting activity and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2733-2
00:14:30.108 --> 00:14:30.936
initiative.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2746-0
00:14:31.166 --> 00:14:35.366
A lot of that has been focused
around management of organics.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2802-0
00:14:36.376 --> 00:14:41.231
Umm, it's been acknowledged that
challenges still remain in that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2802-1
00:14:41.231 --> 00:14:45.787
realm relative to diversion and
Reese reuse of this resource

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2802-2
00:14:45.787 --> 00:14:50.343
that can actually represent up
to 1/3 of the waste stream as

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2802-3
00:14:50.343 --> 00:14:55.198
we're looking to, you know, cut
down on what must be disposed in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2802-4
00:14:55.198 --> 00:14:55.796
the end.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2855-0
00:14:56.486 --> 00:15:01.129
So going forward, it's important
to figure out how to support

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2855-1
00:15:01.129 --> 00:15:05.623
those efforts, in particular
across the state as well as we

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2855-2
00:15:05.623 --> 00:15:09.442
try to figure out what are the
important pieces of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2839-0
00:15:07.746 --> 00:15:07.926
Yep.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2855-3
00:15:09.442 --> 00:15:13.936
infrastructure wise to meet the
the need of Maine citizens.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2861-0
00:15:14.106 --> 00:15:15.896
And again, thank you for this
opportunity.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2869-0
00:15:18.196 --> 00:15:18.946
Thanks, Jackie.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2873-0
00:15:18.596 --> 00:15:19.076
Please join.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2874-0
00:15:18.986 --> 00:15:19.456
I'll let you know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2886-0
00:15:26.126 --> 00:15:29.176
Hi, Elena bertocci, Mandy EP.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2896-0
00:15:29.186 --> 00:15:30.836
I work in the sustainability
unit.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2949-0
00:15:31.426 --> 00:15:34.885
I just wanted to clarify I I
think it can be a little

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2949-1
00:15:34.885 --> 00:15:38.857
intimidating to try to refer
back to the draft plan and and I

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2949-2
00:15:38.857 --> 00:15:43.022
think the reason we don't have a
draft plan is cuz we have ideas

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2949-3
00:15:43.022 --> 00:15:45.456
that we get sitting at our
computers.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2994-0
00:15:45.506 --> 00:15:48.839
Most of us spend too much time
at our computers and not enough

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2994-1
00:15:48.839 --> 00:15:51.537
time out in the field, and I
think this meeting in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2994-2
00:15:51.537 --> 00:15:54.658
particular, it looks like we
have a lot of people who are,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/2994-3
00:15:54.658 --> 00:15:57.356
you know, really hands on
working on these issues.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3021-0
00:15:57.796 --> 00:16:01.098
And so I think this is just an
opportunity to hear what you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3021-1
00:16:01.098 --> 00:16:03.905
guys are seeing, what problems
you're seeing, what

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3021-2
00:16:03.905 --> 00:16:05.446
opportunities you're seeing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3049-0
00:16:05.606 --> 00:16:11.197
And so maybe that uh is is where
you might start instead of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3049-1
00:16:11.197 --> 00:16:16.136
trying to to worry too much
about the exact numbers.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3050-0
00:16:15.216 --> 00:16:16.956
Hello. Yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3054-0
00:16:19.896 --> 00:16:20.436
Thanks Elena.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3060-0
00:16:27.066 --> 00:16:28.446
I have a question. Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3088-0
00:16:28.486 --> 00:16:32.770
So my understanding is the
recording of the numbers comes

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3088-1
00:16:32.770 --> 00:16:37.275
from the transfer stations and
processors like our ourselves

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3088-2
00:16:37.275 --> 00:16:38.826
from the former life.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3108-0
00:16:39.116 --> 00:16:42.123
One of the things I used to do
was broke a cardboard and that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3108-1
00:16:42.123 --> 00:16:43.626
cardboard was brokered through.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3159-0
00:16:44.476 --> 00:16:48.253
Uh, like you're generating your
dollar generals and your

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3159-1
00:16:48.253 --> 00:16:52.296
hannaford's and and those type
of things, they failed around

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3159-2
00:16:52.296 --> 00:16:56.007
these were large amounts of you
can 120,000 square foot

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3159-3
00:16:56.007 --> 00:16:56.736
warehouses.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3164-0
00:16:58.866 --> 00:17:01.426
Does that fall through the
cracks?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3172-0
00:17:01.596 --> 00:17:04.656
Because there's no, does not.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3212-0
00:17:04.666 --> 00:17:07.990
We actually don't use the
transfer station reports for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3212-1
00:17:07.990 --> 00:17:11.676
that report to be try to go to
the last point where material

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3212-2
00:17:11.676 --> 00:17:15.060
was either disposed or before it
left the state and was

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3212-3
00:17:15.060 --> 00:17:15.846
consolidated.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3247-0
00:17:16.146 --> 00:17:20.051
So we go to Eco main for example
or casellas and this report for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3247-1
00:17:20.051 --> 00:17:23.715
all the facilities that they
manage, Dollar General actually

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3247-2
00:17:23.715 --> 00:17:24.676
does not report.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3256-0
00:17:24.876 --> 00:17:26.236
Jennifer does Shaws does.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3304-0
00:17:26.246 --> 00:17:30.397
So I'm wondering if maybe we do
have a gap there and there's a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3304-1
00:17:30.397 --> 00:17:34.747
lot outside of the Hannaford and
Shaw and we used to drive around

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3304-2
00:17:34.747 --> 00:17:38.700
with and tractor trailers that
because these were contracts

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3304-3
00:17:38.700 --> 00:17:42.786
that like Scotia and sign or
something to go treatment forms.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3306-0
00:17:43.746 --> 00:17:44.036
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3314-0
00:17:44.046 --> 00:17:45.276
Walmart North author reports.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3331-0
00:17:45.286 --> 00:17:49.451
But there we we definitely I
wouldn't be surprised if there

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3331-1
00:17:49.451 --> 00:17:50.076
are gaps.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3340-0
00:17:50.086 --> 00:17:52.486
We're trying to capture as much
as possible.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3366-0
00:17:52.496 --> 00:17:55.635
We have the the law now that
does require biennial or I'm

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3366-1
00:17:55.635 --> 00:17:58.936
sorry for annual reporting for
the recycling establishments.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3387-0
00:17:59.626 --> 00:18:02.426
So they're supposed to be
reporting on the material that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3387-1
00:18:02.426 --> 00:18:05.176
they collect and material that
they send out the state.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3398-0
00:18:06.636 --> 00:18:08.806
But I'm not sure that we have
everything.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3459-0
00:18:08.816 --> 00:18:11.531
We have an old book that we've
been working with and kind of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3459-1
00:18:11.531 --> 00:18:14.202
developing over time and adding
to, but if anybody knows of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3459-2
00:18:14.202 --> 00:18:16.784
other entities like Dollar
General Now I can reach out to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3459-3
00:18:16.784 --> 00:18:19.410
them that could be brokering
stuff out of state that we're

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3459-4
00:18:19.410 --> 00:18:22.036
not getting information from any
great to try to find out.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3506-0
00:18:26.296 --> 00:18:29.954
Short of going to every single
business in the state, you know

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3506-1
00:18:29.954 --> 00:18:33.032
I'd said working on the best
information we have and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3506-2
00:18:33.032 --> 00:18:36.632
hopefully with our restart, you
know, that's just like people

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3506-3
00:18:36.632 --> 00:18:38.606
may that's a pile of
information.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3513-0
00:18:38.616 --> 00:18:39.266
Yeah, exactly.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3516-0
00:18:39.276 --> 00:18:41.036
Across from your. Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3529-0
00:18:41.086 --> 00:18:43.426
And we did capture for when the
facility to operate.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3549-0
00:18:43.436 --> 00:18:46.567
We did capture all the
recyclables that went out there,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3549-1
00:18:46.567 --> 00:18:48.356
so people looking at that again.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3581-0
00:18:57.376 --> 00:19:01.110
Should we move into our
discussion, starters OK, and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3581-1
00:19:01.110 --> 00:19:05.126
people in the back to feel free
to jump in and any time.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3596-0
00:19:05.136 --> 00:19:07.226
If you've got something that you
want to talk about or bring up.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3629-0
00:19:09.066 --> 00:19:12.341
So again, going back to what
we've heard about, so Southern

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3629-1
00:19:12.341 --> 00:19:15.726
Maine in general, you got a lot
of really good infrastructure

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3629-2
00:19:15.726 --> 00:19:17.036
for drop off facilities.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3693-0
00:19:17.686 --> 00:19:21.110
And I'm sorry for curbside
collection rather, but we're

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3693-1
00:19:21.110 --> 00:19:24.901
curious to know if there are
communities and they're probably

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3693-2
00:19:24.901 --> 00:19:28.631
not represented here today, if
they are, that have herb site

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3693-3
00:19:28.631 --> 00:19:32.605
collection but umm, have limited
options for to dropping off for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3693-4
00:19:32.605 --> 00:19:35.662
things like universal or
hazardous waste, mercury

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3693-5
00:19:35.662 --> 00:19:37.986
containing lamps, that sort of
thing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3739-0
00:19:39.256 --> 00:19:41.723
That's one of the topics that
has come up in some of our past

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3739-1
00:19:41.723 --> 00:19:44.150
discussions is that, you know,
even if there is a place with

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3739-2
00:19:44.150 --> 00:19:46.696
the transfer station, maybe the
transfer station doesn't always

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3739-3
00:19:46.696 --> 00:19:48.526
take everything that they need
to get rid of.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3775-0
00:19:48.536 --> 00:19:51.447
So they're looking to some of
the the, for example, some of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3775-1
00:19:51.447 --> 00:19:54.018
the retail sites that
participate in our stewardship

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3775-2
00:19:54.018 --> 00:19:57.026
program so that they can take
things like mercury lamps back.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3812-0
00:19:57.036 --> 00:19:59.858
But it's not as comprehensive as
as having a single drop off

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3812-1
00:19:59.858 --> 00:20:02.679
facility where they can go take,
you know, their E waste and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3812-2
00:20:02.679 --> 00:20:04.946
their lamps and and all of the
material at once.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3820-0
00:20:05.516 --> 00:20:08.116
So just kind of general.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3822-0
00:20:08.126 --> 00:20:08.456
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3824-0
00:20:08.506 --> 00:20:08.816
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3869-0
00:20:08.826 --> 00:20:12.195
So I'm with the city of South
Portland, and while we have a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3869-1
00:20:12.195 --> 00:20:15.396
lot of opportunities of for
different types of ways that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3869-2
00:20:15.396 --> 00:20:19.102
people can collect, you waste is
one that comes up frequently and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3869-3
00:20:19.102 --> 00:20:21.236
are transportation doesn't
accept it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3911-0
00:20:21.286 --> 00:20:25.176
We used to have an E waste day
and it was frankly we combined

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3911-1
00:20:25.176 --> 00:20:28.690
it with our household hazardous
waste day and it was so

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3911-2
00:20:28.690 --> 00:20:32.016
incredibly busy that it just
wasn't feasible for us.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3947-0
00:20:33.086 --> 00:20:35.908
So now we tell people to take it
back for they got it and and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3947-1
00:20:35.908 --> 00:20:38.776
instances where they can, but
there's a lot of instances where

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3947-2
00:20:38.776 --> 00:20:39.686
that's not the case.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/3949-0
00:20:40.666 --> 00:20:40.956
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4007-0
00:20:41.286 --> 00:20:44.261
So if there are more
opportunities for you waste take

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4007-1
00:20:44.261 --> 00:20:47.622
back or basis, we could send
people that would be helpful is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4007-2
00:20:47.622 --> 00:20:51.037
can I ask for because we have a
sewage of program that allows

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4007-3
00:20:51.037 --> 00:20:54.398
the muscles to take it for a
reduced rate compared to what a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4007-4
00:20:54.398 --> 00:20:56.326
commercial business would pay
for.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4013-0
00:20:56.356 --> 00:20:57.126
E waste recycling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4028-0
00:20:57.136 --> 00:21:00.085
So is there a reason the city
doesn't take it at the transfer

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4028-1
00:21:00.085 --> 00:21:00.466
station?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4040-0
00:21:00.476 --> 00:21:04.026
Is it just storage or storage is
in the yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4081-0
00:21:06.116 --> 00:21:10.647
And more recently, the waste
haulers now, even though there's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4081-1
00:21:10.647 --> 00:21:14.959
no cost for the units, the
charging fuel surcharges and so

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4081-2
00:21:14.959 --> 00:21:18.686
for us, you know, we have pick
up every two weeks.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4102-0
00:21:19.116 --> 00:21:22.826
It's $100 fuel surcharge. Every
time they roll into the yard.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4109-0
00:21:24.166 --> 00:21:25.056
I mean, I don't know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4121-0
00:21:25.126 --> 00:21:28.346
For us it's manageable, but for
small it TI I don't know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4152-0
00:21:30.896 --> 00:21:35.332
For for many of our Members in
the area of the state that we we

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4152-1
00:21:35.332 --> 00:21:39.561
cover and service, they stopped
coming to collect because of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4152-2
00:21:39.561 --> 00:21:40.046
volume.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4199-0
00:21:40.146 --> 00:21:43.422
They want it more volume to come
all the way up and then they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4199-1
00:21:43.422 --> 00:21:46.856
don't have the footprint or the
floor space for that volume, you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4199-2
00:21:46.856 --> 00:21:50.079
know, and we service a lot of
small communities that are are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4199-3
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:51.136
off the beaten path.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4209-0
00:21:51.146 --> 00:21:53.486
And that's been the one thing
that's been brought to her.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4276-0
00:21:57.476 --> 00:22:00.391
It's sometimes seems that if
there was a, you know, a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4276-1
00:22:00.391 --> 00:22:03.792
regional facility that was just
for the kind of materials that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4276-2
00:22:03.792 --> 00:22:06.816
we cover in the stewardship
programs and and maybe even

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4276-3
00:22:06.816 --> 00:22:10.325
occasional hustle testers waste
that would be of a real benefit,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4276-4
00:22:10.325 --> 00:22:13.348
even if it's not quite as
convenience going just to the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4276-5
00:22:13.348 --> 00:22:14.266
transfer station.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4280-0
00:22:14.416 --> 00:22:14.806
I don't know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4293-0
00:22:14.816 --> 00:22:17.666
You know, this is more your area
of expertise.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4299-0
00:22:17.676 --> 00:22:18.436
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4324-0
00:22:18.536 --> 00:22:21.061
We had the same thing in the in
the northern part of the state,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4324-1
00:22:21.061 --> 00:22:23.626
where it transport distances are
long and populations are small.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4355-0
00:22:24.386 --> 00:22:27.369
Umm, we haven't gotten much
traction in pitching the idea of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4355-1
00:22:27.369 --> 00:22:30.400
regional collection centers or
or sort of cooperative efforts

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4355-2
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:31.036
up there yet.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4366-0
00:22:31.046 --> 00:22:33.786
But I'm hoping that at some
point we might be able to.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4401-0
00:22:33.796 --> 00:22:36.831
I don't know if we could, you
know, waste diversion grants and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4401-1
00:22:36.831 --> 00:22:39.819
focused a lot on organics, but
maybe we could start, you know

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4401-2
00:22:39.819 --> 00:22:41.746
that seems to be getting some
momentum.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4414-0
00:22:41.756 --> 00:22:43.996
Maybe we could start looking at,
you know, universal ways.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4424-0
00:22:44.006 --> 00:22:45.676
Council has this waste, things
like that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4427-0
00:22:46.366 --> 00:22:47.156
There are some obstacles.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4450-0
00:22:49.896 --> 00:22:52.524
Hazardous waste transporters
need to have a place to take it,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4450-1
00:22:52.524 --> 00:22:52.906
you know?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4477-0
00:22:52.916 --> 00:22:55.288
And if they don't have an
established facility close to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4477-1
00:22:55.288 --> 00:22:57.788
where they're collecting,
there's a storage time issue and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4477-2
00:22:57.788 --> 00:22:58.466
stuff like that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4512-0
00:22:58.476 --> 00:23:01.408
So that's also a roadblock to
the servicing places like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4512-1
00:23:01.408 --> 00:23:04.601
county, but you know people are
interested with certainly be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4512-2
00:23:04.601 --> 00:23:07.376
happy to entertain the ideas and
and work with them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4522-0
00:23:07.736 --> 00:23:09.396
That's one note on the waste
version grant.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4555-0
00:23:09.406 --> 00:23:12.800
So this the highest depository
priority is actually regional

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4555-1
00:23:12.800 --> 00:23:16.194
municipal projects and organics
is prioritized, but it's the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4555-2
00:23:16.194 --> 00:23:19.366
highest priority is regional and
municipal applications.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4569-0
00:23:19.376 --> 00:23:21.606
So I guess it's just what I've
seen so far has been organic.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4596-0
00:23:21.616 --> 00:23:25.364
It has, yeah, with the part of
that is just due to the nature

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4596-1
00:23:25.364 --> 00:23:28.930
of the applications we've
received, but it is not a couple

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4596-2
00:23:28.930 --> 00:23:31.106
of comments online also Tony
Smith.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4616-0
00:23:36.026 --> 00:23:37.066
Is that my cue, Jim?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4622-0
00:23:37.616 --> 00:23:38.476
That trip to you?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4620-0
00:23:37.966 --> 00:23:39.276
That's alright.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4624-0
00:23:39.286 --> 00:23:39.686
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4664-0
00:23:41.446 --> 00:23:45.837
On the organics, we know the
majority owners now the facility

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4664-1
00:23:45.837 --> 00:23:49.732
in Hampton, we're gonna be
taking a harder look at the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4664-2
00:23:49.732 --> 00:23:52.706
reuse of of the organics that we
receive.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4686-0
00:23:54.656 --> 00:23:58.304
That'll be a a key component
that they'll wanna pull out of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4686-1
00:23:58.304 --> 00:23:59.216
the way stream.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4683-0
00:23:59.646 --> 00:23:59.826
You.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4698-0
00:24:00.896 --> 00:24:05.166
And on here on I lived in the
town of Mount Desert.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4756-0
00:24:05.556 --> 00:24:10.501
And I'm chairman of the Acadia
Disposal District, which is A6

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4756-1

00:24:12.926 --> 00:24:13.126
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4756-2
00:24:15.605 --> 00:24:19.992
hazardous and Universal Waste
collection event and our

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4756-3
00:24:19.992 --> 00:24:25.255
hazardous waste vendor set three
single day collection records up

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4756-4
00:24:25.255 --> 00:24:28.286
here which I believe is a good
thing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4829-0
00:24:28.296 --> 00:24:32.480
That means a lot of materials
coming out of the way stream,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4829-1
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:36.804
and we also let the transfer
station that we use in Southwest

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4829-2
00:24:36.804 --> 00:24:41.198
Harbor, UM in addition to the
annual collection of E Waste, we

can take the waste there to the
transfer station the 2nd

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4820-0
00:24:44.366 --> 00:24:47.406
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4829-4

successful in applying for CDs

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4845-0
00:24:52.976 --> 00:24:58.266
We were awarded $350,000 to look
at a local regional.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4851-0
00:24:58.046 --> 00:24:58.316
Well.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4854-0
00:24:59.076 --> 00:25:01.346
Uh hazardous waste collection.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4863-0
00:25:02.256 --> 00:25:04.926
Ohh site somewhere with that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4873-0
00:25:04.446 --> 00:25:04.606
So.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4883-0
00:25:04.936 --> 00:25:09.111
That's the the Kickers to find
where you'll be able to place

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4883-1
00:25:09.111 --> 00:25:09.316
it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4896-0
00:25:10.966 --> 00:25:14.856
People are already raising
concerns, which rightfully so.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4943-0
00:25:15.346 --> 00:25:19.503
We just were notified of the
grant and the amount of money

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4906-0
00:25:16.096 --> 00:25:16.636
Yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4943-1
00:25:19.503 --> 00:25:23.379
that we will that we have
actually received and now we

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4943-2
00:25:23.379 --> 00:25:27.254
have to get ramped up for the
education part on what a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4943-3
00:25:27.254 --> 00:25:29.016
facility might look like.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4955-0
00:25:29.306 --> 00:25:34.216
Nothing's cast in stone yet,
except the the grant funding.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4958-0
00:25:35.696 --> 00:25:36.286
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4969-0
00:25:36.616 --> 00:25:37.076
Thank you, Jim.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4967-0
00:25:37.026 --> 00:25:38.176
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/4970-0
00:25:38.186 --> 00:25:39.436
Welcome, Alina.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5000-0
00:25:42.466 --> 00:25:45.778
I I hate to take us back, but I
could just get a couple more

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5000-1
00:25:45.778 --> 00:25:49.036
questions on the E waste the the
woman from South Portland.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5022-0
00:25:49.046 --> 00:25:52.369
You said that you don't have
space is that you don't have a a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5022-1
00:25:52.369 --> 00:25:55.316
structure to store it or you
don't have physical land.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5046-0
00:25:56.906 --> 00:26:00.708
I think it's more of a structure
issue at the moment and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5046-1
00:26:00.708 --> 00:26:02.176
budgetary constraints.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5052-0
00:26:03.436 --> 00:26:05.296
And then sorry, go ahead.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5050-0
00:26:03.456 --> 00:26:03.816
You see it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5054-0
00:26:04.966 --> 00:26:07.096
So I'm sorry.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5071-0
00:26:07.146 --> 00:26:10.039
I I was just clarifying whether
she said South Portland,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5071-1
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:10.496
Portland.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5082-0
00:26:10.696 --> 00:26:12.896
Sorry, report that didn't make
sense to me.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5106-0
00:26:12.906 --> 00:26:18.420
I think they asked me again, you
guys important that becomes back

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5096-0
00:26:17.096 --> 00:26:17.346
Ah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5106-1
00:26:18.420 --> 00:26:20.676
to the regional collection.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5110-0
00:26:23.246 --> 00:26:25.206
You're on, Elena like.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5104-0
00:26:24.636 --> 00:26:24.966
OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5151-0
00:26:24.976 --> 00:26:29.091
And then Mike, you said that a
lot of people, umm, they're

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5151-1
00:26:29.091 --> 00:26:33.555
having issues with, not people
not being the, the consolidators

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5151-2
00:26:33.555 --> 00:26:37.949
not being willing to come pick
up, that's actually not allowed

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5151-3
00:26:37.949 --> 00:26:38.716
by the law.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5162-0
00:26:38.726 --> 00:26:40.726
So they should get in touch with
the department.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5180-0
00:26:41.436 --> 00:26:46.471
If you could pass them that
information, they they they like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5169-0
00:26:42.586 --> 00:26:42.896
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5180-1
00:26:46.471 --> 00:26:47.626
can't do that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5189-0
00:26:48.256 --> 00:26:48.466
And.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5182-0
00:26:48.536 --> 00:26:49.046
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5193-0
00:26:49.276 --> 00:26:50.746
And then another question on
that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5220-0
00:26:51.786 --> 00:26:54.732
When you say they don't have
enough material, is that they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5207-0
00:26:54.246 --> 00:26:54.576
More.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5220-1
00:26:54.732 --> 00:26:57.577
don't have storage space to
store material or they don't

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5220-2
00:26:57.577 --> 00:26:58.376
have throughput.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5218-0
00:26:59.066 --> 00:26:59.276
No.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5252-0
00:26:59.846 --> 00:27:05.018
So my understanding is there was
a minimum for pickup and they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5252-1
00:27:05.018 --> 00:27:10.436
didn't have the capacity for the
footprint to store that minimum.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5262-0
00:27:12.096 --> 00:27:14.392
Yeah, you should send them to
the department because we can

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5262-1
00:27:14.392 --> 00:27:14.966
get that fixed.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5265-0
00:27:14.976 --> 00:27:15.346
That's not.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5271-0
00:27:17.466 --> 00:27:17.956
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5278-0
00:27:17.966 --> 00:27:18.686
If you wouldn't mind.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5276-0
00:27:20.086 --> 00:27:20.606
No problem.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5279-0
00:27:20.616 --> 00:27:20.956
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5304-0
00:27:23.736 --> 00:27:27.855
I I would assume that would be
more of a commodity cut, a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5304-1
00:27:27.855 --> 00:27:31.406
business end of things versus a
regulatory thing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5318-0
00:27:31.816 --> 00:27:34.581
They need to have a certain
volume to make the trip cost

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5318-1
00:27:34.581 --> 00:27:35.066
effective.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5329-0
00:27:35.216 --> 00:27:36.896
Yes, I guess you'll.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5332-0
00:27:36.906 --> 00:27:40.326
How could the partner can't fix
that?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5342-0
00:27:41.276 --> 00:27:43.776
The law requires them to pick
up.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5354-0
00:27:43.846 --> 00:27:45.946
They have to pick up, but they
could also do.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5364-0
00:27:46.216 --> 00:27:49.906
To make it help, it could help
combine some pickups.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5370-0
00:27:49.916 --> 00:27:52.886
Yeah, exactly like help, help
facilitate plan routes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5388-0
00:27:54.856 --> 00:27:57.199
So in that case, accumulate
enough for that certain time,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5388-1
00:27:57.199 --> 00:27:57.846
which is saying.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5394-0
00:27:57.976 --> 00:27:58.856
So it's a small volume.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5471-0
00:27:59.876 --> 00:28:03.526
So before the plant closed,
because that's kind of been our

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5471-1
00:28:03.526 --> 00:28:07.358
focus, we created a survey and
these are the kind of questions

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5471-2
00:28:07.358 --> 00:28:11.130
that we have on the survey to
send out to our Members because

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5471-3
00:28:11.130 --> 00:28:14.780
we obviously want to help our
Members in any way and that's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5471-4
00:28:14.780 --> 00:28:18.673
what some of the ideas that we
were kicking around in our waste

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5471-5
00:28:18.673 --> 00:28:21.836
blowing stuff is when we see the
surveys come back.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5521-0
00:28:22.256 --> 00:28:25.553
Umm, you know if if these are
the issues cause could we help

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5521-1
00:28:25.553 --> 00:28:28.742
create milk runs or or around
you know see how much volume

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5521-2
00:28:28.742 --> 00:28:32.201
each person has in that type of
thing where there's many things

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5521-3
00:28:32.201 --> 00:28:34.796
right up to E waste tires, all
kinds of things.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5526-0
00:28:35.076 --> 00:28:36.746
Mattresses were a big one.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5565-0
00:28:37.216 --> 00:28:41.211
So so this is all in a survey
that we spent a lot of time and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5565-1
00:28:41.211 --> 00:28:45.205
and and in finances to create
and it just right at the finish

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5565-2
00:28:45.205 --> 00:28:46.816
line was ready to go out.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5571-0
00:28:46.946 --> 00:28:48.706
We had to deal with what's
happening.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5586-0
00:28:49.476 --> 00:28:54.716
You're going to revamp that now
that I I've had some time free

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5586-1
00:28:54.716 --> 00:28:54.966
up.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5590-0
00:28:55.116 --> 00:28:55.316
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5609-0
00:28:55.356 --> 00:29:01.187
So now that that's happened,
we're gonna get back to the To

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5609-1
00:29:01.187 --> 00:29:02.936
Do List, which is.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5638-0
00:29:02.946 --> 00:29:06.447
I'm excited about those many
things outside of the municipal

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5638-1
00:29:06.447 --> 00:29:10.234
solid waste that we want to help
our members with breaking a demo

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5638-2
00:29:10.234 --> 00:29:10.636
degree.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5657-0
00:29:11.966 --> 00:29:14.917
We're especially with our new
partner with how aggressive they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5657-1
00:29:14.917 --> 00:29:16.416
are and and in their background.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5664-0
00:29:16.426 --> 00:29:17.766
We're we're really looking at
everything.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5682-0
00:29:19.456 --> 00:29:22.633
It's going to take time, but of
course we don't wanna get too

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5682-1
00:29:22.633 --> 00:29:23.556
far over the skis.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5706-0
00:29:24.346 --> 00:29:28.553
Let's get plan and restarted
ways back on the floor that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5706-1
00:29:28.553 --> 00:29:32.096
started really focused on these
other problems.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5710-0
00:29:34.266 --> 00:29:35.346
Don't need something to add.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5725-0
00:29:38.206 --> 00:29:39.266
Uh, Mike. Got it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5731-0
00:29:38.276 --> 00:29:39.696
Is and.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5729-0
00:29:39.426 --> 00:29:40.106
Thanks Jim.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5732-0
00:29:40.146 --> 00:29:40.626
Thanks Mike.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5771-0
00:29:43.896 --> 00:29:47.966
Another topic we've been hearing
a little bit about and is more,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5771-1
00:29:47.966 --> 00:29:51.848
I think actually it's all about
state but multifamily and the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5771-2
00:29:51.848 --> 00:29:55.166
lack of access for multifamily
homes with recycling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5787-0
00:29:55.176 --> 00:29:57.921
I think he probably more
Portland, South Portland, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5787-1
00:29:57.921 --> 00:30:00.366
yeah, that's something you guys
have dealt with.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5793-0
00:30:00.376 --> 00:30:00.986
What if you?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5795-0
00:30:01.456 --> 00:30:02.186
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5843-0
00:30:02.616 --> 00:30:06.975
So both Portland and South
Portland have our joint climate

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5843-1
00:30:06.975 --> 00:30:11.557
action plan, one climate future,
and one of our strategies in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5843-2
00:30:11.557 --> 00:30:15.842
that is to expand multifamily
and commercial recycling of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5843-3
00:30:15.842 --> 00:30:20.202
Portland already does have
multifamily unit recycling, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5843-4
00:30:20.202 --> 00:30:22.566
South Portland is working on it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5856-0
00:30:22.636 --> 00:30:25.766
It's definitely something that
we'd like to pursue.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5875-0
00:30:26.316 --> 00:30:29.413
I think at this point it's
getting everyone on board that's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5875-1
00:30:29.413 --> 00:30:32.046
that's been the challenge
property owners exactly.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5877-0
00:30:32.056 --> 00:30:32.276
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5910-0
00:30:33.096 --> 00:30:39.135
So one of the challenges that
Portland faces with that is it's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5910-1
00:30:39.135 --> 00:30:45.078
in our code to collect and multi
families should be providing

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5910-2
00:30:45.078 --> 00:30:47.666
recycling as easy as trash.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5930-0
00:30:47.676 --> 00:30:52.436
However, physical space or
collection of the issue?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5947-0
00:30:52.686 --> 00:30:56.326
Yeah, that's why many commercial
sized buildings don't and they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/5947-1
00:30:56.326 --> 00:30:58.316
collect trash and goes to go
mean.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6007-0
00:30:58.326 --> 00:31:02.708
And I literally spend time on
the phone saying I know it's not

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6007-1
00:31:02.708 --> 00:31:06.672
recycled and I explained the
waste of energy process and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6007-2
00:31:06.672 --> 00:31:10.706
like, if you really want to
collect, you can collect your

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6007-3
00:31:10.706 --> 00:31:15.296
condo or your apartment and take
it and drop it off at Riverside.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6024-0
00:31:15.406 --> 00:31:21.430
But they physically don't have
the space in town for recycling

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6024-1
00:31:21.430 --> 00:31:22.386
and trash.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6032-0
00:31:23.856 --> 00:31:25.546
So it's hard to enforce.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6040-0
00:31:26.356 --> 00:31:27.826
I have a question about that
too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6056-0
00:31:28.136 --> 00:31:32.928
Is it the responsibility of like
a commercial property manager to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6056-1
00:31:32.928 --> 00:31:35.396
provide for recycling
collection?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6078-0
00:31:35.536 --> 00:31:39.406
Because that also requires that
commercial entities are offering

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6078-1
00:31:39.406 --> 00:31:43.098
recycling, like they're testing,
callers have to also provide

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6078-2
00:31:43.098 --> 00:31:43.396
that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6113-0
00:31:43.756 --> 00:31:47.066
So if they're not doing that
right now, then they can't

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6113-1
00:31:47.066 --> 00:31:50.671
provide for the because I have
an existing contract with all

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6113-2
00:31:50.671 --> 00:31:52.326
the tonnage going SAT Excel.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6125-0
00:31:52.336 --> 00:31:56.976
So I guess that adds another
added layer of complication.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6136-0
00:31:57.026 --> 00:31:59.886
It does totality not kind of
fitting the tab.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6162-0
00:31:59.896 --> 00:32:04.749
That would be a property manager
obligation and they do we do

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6162-1
00:32:04.749 --> 00:32:09.446
license the waste dollars and we
have now categorized them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6166-0
00:32:09.506 --> 00:32:11.046
I have categorized them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6175-0
00:32:11.146 --> 00:32:12.356
I'm very happy about this.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6206-0
00:32:12.706 --> 00:32:16.092
I thought John collars,
organics, trash and dumpster

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6206-1
00:32:16.092 --> 00:32:19.862
rentals and then trash and
recycling folks, and it's based

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6206-2
00:32:19.862 --> 00:32:21.906
on what their business model is.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6233-0
00:32:22.286 --> 00:32:28.226
So it helps businesses multi use
commercial properties, shop for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6233-1
00:32:28.226 --> 00:32:32.886
the right type of waste
management that they need.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6276-0
00:32:33.296 --> 00:32:36.789
But it's really it's the
footprint size and then if

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6276-1
00:32:36.789 --> 00:32:41.021
somebody's having an issue, they
do call around and I let them

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6276-2
00:32:41.021 --> 00:32:44.918
know, you know, your condo
association will have the fees

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6276-3
00:32:44.918 --> 00:32:47.336
that you've been playing for
waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6319-0
00:32:47.346 --> 00:32:51.843
So you could get some estimates
and whatever, but it is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6319-1
00:32:51.843 --> 00:32:56.660
inforcements hard when we say
it's supposed to be as easily

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6319-2
00:32:56.660 --> 00:33:01.639
accessible and like some company
might provide only cardboard

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6319-3
00:33:01.639 --> 00:33:03.566
recycling in a building.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6333-0
00:33:03.576 --> 00:33:06.858
And I'm like, but that is
meeting a recycling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6333-1
00:33:06.858 --> 00:33:07.836
Accessibility.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6389-0
00:33:07.846 --> 00:33:12.001
Yes, you're not recycling all
items, but cardboard is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6389-1
00:33:12.001 --> 00:33:16.771
recyclable and you're building,
so it's it's a catch 22 and a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6389-2
00:33:16.771 --> 00:33:21.618
lot of it has been education on
what the waste to energy plant

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6389-3
00:33:21.618 --> 00:33:25.926
is doing versus where the
recycling commodities or not.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6393-0
00:33:26.576 --> 00:33:28.266
Vanessa, can you introduce
yourself?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6396-0
00:33:28.356 --> 00:33:28.816
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6414-0
00:33:28.876 --> 00:33:32.276
Yeah, Vanessa, very sustainable
mean outreach coordinator for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6414-1
00:33:32.276 --> 00:33:33.866
NCM and work on waste policy.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6453-0
00:33:34.336 --> 00:33:37.869
So I was just thinking about
that in terms of the PR also and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6453-1
00:33:37.869 --> 00:33:41.516
municipalities have an incentive
potentially to pick up the tab

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6453-2
00:33:41.516 --> 00:33:45.049
on the recycling because that
could ultimately result in more

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6453-3
00:33:45.049 --> 00:33:46.986
reimbursement or these
qualities.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6501-0
00:33:46.996 --> 00:33:50.161
So I just wanted to throw that
out there as a potential

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6501-1
00:33:50.161 --> 00:33:53.608
opportunity, but I could see
right now with haulers, there's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6501-2
00:33:53.608 --> 00:33:57.055
a financial disincentive to
provide recycling and I see that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6501-3
00:33:57.055 --> 00:34:00.106
adding some complication to
making that accessible to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6501-4
00:34:00.106 --> 00:34:01.406
residents in the state.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6524-0
00:34:04.096 --> 00:34:07.084
Yeah, I'm thinking of my
alliance chat and then saying on

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6524-1
00:34:07.084 --> 00:34:08.836
my Portland Suffern resident
hat.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6563-0
00:34:09.636 --> 00:34:12.353
But I've lived in Portland for
many years and recently

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6563-1
00:34:12.353 --> 00:34:15.416
experienced this or living in
multifamily, recorded it to the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6563-2
00:34:15.416 --> 00:34:18.628
city again and again, and there
was only so much that they could

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6563-3
00:34:18.628 --> 00:34:18.776
do.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6580-0
00:34:18.786 --> 00:34:21.209
And then there was kind of fear
of, like, retaliation from the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6580-1
00:34:21.209 --> 00:34:22.286
property management company.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6589-0
00:34:22.296 --> 00:34:23.376
Who was trying to find out?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6601-0
00:34:24.476 --> 00:34:25.926
Who I was, who was reporting
them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6662-0
00:34:27.346 --> 00:34:31.233
And then again recently and it's
in South Portland too, and maybe

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6662-1
00:34:31.233 --> 00:34:34.943
I've been talking to you, I'm
talking to someone that's you to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6662-2
00:34:34.943 --> 00:34:38.770
try and figure this out because
it's the second time in the last

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6662-3
00:34:38.770 --> 00:34:42.363
five years where I've have not
had access to recycling in my

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6662-4
00:34:42.363 --> 00:34:42.716
house.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6688-0
00:34:42.726 --> 00:34:47.311
So, but anyway, it's just kind
of echoing in sharing another

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6688-1
00:34:47.311 --> 00:34:49.716
story of the struggle to it has.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6691-0
00:34:50.186 --> 00:34:51.166
The struggle is real.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6711-0
00:34:51.176 --> 00:34:54.805
Yeah, the struggle is real and
many calls about that in my long

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6711-1
00:34:54.805 --> 00:34:57.016
standing career hacking about
garbage.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6713-0
00:34:57.026 --> 00:34:57.596
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6745-0
00:34:58.046 --> 00:35:01.138
To see all this recyclable, all
this material going straight to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6745-1
00:35:01.138 --> 00:35:04.037
the trash and you're not the
only resident that wants to do

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6745-2
00:35:04.037 --> 00:35:06.646
the right thing, but literally
can't where they live.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6771-0
00:35:08.836 --> 00:35:12.782
How about for new construction
that you know ordinances include

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6771-1
00:35:12.782 --> 00:35:15.556
space for recycling as well as
waste pickup?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6797-0
00:35:16.496 --> 00:35:19.338
I mean, it's not going to handle
the, you know, grandfathers

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6797-1
00:35:19.338 --> 00:35:22.040
stuff, but right, I'm at least
we'd be going in the right

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6797-2
00:35:22.040 --> 00:35:22.506
direction.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6801-0
00:35:22.756 --> 00:35:23.846
That would be nice.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6821-0
00:35:24.316 --> 00:35:29.103
We could also be going to, you
know, a A roll off type

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6821-1
00:35:29.103 --> 00:35:29.886
scenario.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6852-0
00:35:29.896 --> 00:35:33.832
Just like with the waist, but
the recycling, as long as

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6852-1
00:35:33.832 --> 00:35:38.190
somebody has control over that,
it's not being filled up with

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6852-2
00:35:38.190 --> 00:35:39.666
waste a single sword.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6859-0
00:35:39.676 --> 00:35:40.286
It doesn't matter.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6875-0
00:35:40.296 --> 00:35:43.326
You put it all in one bin so you
can put it all in one container.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6885-0
00:35:43.716 --> 00:35:45.986
Tactical could be a compact.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6894-0
00:35:47.346 --> 00:35:49.216
We have Elena and then Tony.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6930-0
00:35:50.686 --> 00:35:54.113
I was just going to ask if they
make containers that have that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6930-1
00:35:54.113 --> 00:35:57.376
are either smaller so that you
could have both or that have

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6930-2
00:35:57.376 --> 00:35:58.736
both like 2 compartments.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6935-0
00:36:00.146 --> 00:36:00.336
Sure.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6944-0
00:36:00.316 --> 00:36:01.706
Does anyone aware of any
containers?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6948-0
00:36:02.956 --> 00:36:04.906
Haven't made nothing else?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6955-0
00:36:04.916 --> 00:36:06.116
Is 10 yard containers.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6980-0
00:36:06.126 --> 00:36:09.664
This 40 yard contains also have
all kinds of sizes and then

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6980-1
00:36:09.664 --> 00:36:12.436
structure thinking we should
work around that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6987-0
00:36:12.956 --> 00:36:13.786
I think that's a lot of.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6992-0
00:36:16.176 --> 00:36:16.966
Tony or on?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/6997-0
00:36:19.576 --> 00:36:20.526
Thanks, Jim.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7055-0
00:36:20.876 --> 00:36:25.367
One of the come advantages I
think that the facility in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7055-1
00:36:25.367 --> 00:36:30.420
Hamden has is I'm former public
works director for the town of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7055-2
00:36:30.420 --> 00:36:35.553
Mount Desert and Back when the
facility opened, we changed from

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7055-3
00:36:35.553 --> 00:36:40.526
sorting our recyclables to what
we was called one bin all in.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7081-0
00:36:41.596 --> 00:36:47.065
And like a lot of towns in state
of Maine Week, you did not come

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7081-1
00:36:47.065 --> 00:36:51.355
anywhere near the the
requirement of 50% recycling

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7081-2
00:36:51.355 --> 00:36:51.776
rate.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7116-0
00:36:52.186 --> 00:36:56.790
We are always down around 1314%
and part of that was because you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7116-1
00:36:56.790 --> 00:37:00.969
could include construction
demolition debris and we gotta,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7116-2
00:37:00.969 --> 00:37:04.086
I believe, 1/2 percent for the
bottle Bill.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7125-0
00:37:05.486 --> 00:37:09.776
So we switched to the one bin
all in and the.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7159-0
00:37:10.336 --> 00:37:14.956
You know, operators of the
facility and I've seen it work,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7159-1
00:37:14.956 --> 00:37:19.655
matter of fact, I believe Mike
saw it last week or the week

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7159-2
00:37:19.655 --> 00:37:21.456
before it was fired up.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7167-0
00:37:21.536 --> 00:37:21.836
No.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7199-0
00:37:21.686 --> 00:37:28.406
It works, it sorts the materials
and I would anticipate the same

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7199-1
00:37:28.406 --> 00:37:34.712
one bin all in being offered
once we're up and full bore and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7194-0
00:37:33.956 --> 00:37:34.276
What?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7199-2
00:37:34.712 --> 00:37:36.676
the recycling rate.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7209-0
00:37:36.856 --> 00:37:36.986
The.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7232-0
00:37:36.926 --> 00:37:43.002
Right now the the permit has
written right in at 50% and the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7232-1
00:37:43.002 --> 00:37:48.680
owners are shooting for 60708090
just as much as humanly

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7232-2
00:37:48.680 --> 00:37:49.576
possible.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7251-0
00:37:50.516 --> 00:37:53.986
So I believe that that we have a
good, good plan in place.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7242-0
00:37:50.946 --> 00:37:51.126
So.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7257-0
00:37:54.546 --> 00:37:54.846
These.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7265-0
00:37:55.326 --> 00:37:58.556
Good design in place to pull
those materials out.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7267-0
00:37:57.056 --> 00:37:57.426
The.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7269-0
00:37:59.306 --> 00:37:59.656
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7271-0
00:38:01.726 --> 00:38:02.126
Based on.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7324-0
00:38:07.256 --> 00:38:11.503
One thing I've kind of curious
about just hearing about haulers

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7324-1
00:38:11.503 --> 00:38:15.751
and the different relationships
and something that we've talked

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7324-2
00:38:15.751 --> 00:38:20.064
about in the apartment is could
contracts could better, stronger

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7324-3
00:38:20.064 --> 00:38:23.714
contracts that require haulers
to, for example provide

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7324-4
00:38:23.714 --> 00:38:26.966
recycling or take material to
specific donation.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7351-0
00:38:27.916 --> 00:38:31.305
Wow, we can't talk right now to
a specific location to be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7351-1
00:38:31.305 --> 00:38:34.869
recycled to ensure that things
are actually getting properly

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7351-2
00:38:34.869 --> 00:38:35.336
managed.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7370-0
00:38:35.346 --> 00:38:39.044
Because you know, you heard
people that call up and say,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7370-1
00:38:39.044 --> 00:38:42.806
well, the recycling truck took
my trash and my recycling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7460-0
00:38:42.816 --> 00:38:46.109
I don't think my recycling is
actually getting recycled, so

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7460-1
00:38:46.109 --> 00:38:49.292
could there be something
communist polity and a hauler to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7460-2
00:38:49.292 --> 00:38:52.805
just ensure that the materials
going where the town wants it to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7460-3
00:38:52.805 --> 00:38:55.659
go and also to ensure that
residents have access to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7460-4
00:38:55.659 --> 00:38:59.062
whatever services they just tell
them wants to make sure that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7460-5
00:38:59.062 --> 00:39:02.465
they're provided like Internet
they have recycling as well as

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7460-6
00:39:02.465 --> 00:39:05.868
trash disposal does have that in
our ways taller contract and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7460-7
00:39:05.868 --> 00:39:06.636
their license.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7462-0
00:39:06.886 --> 00:39:07.156
OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7537-0
00:39:07.166 --> 00:39:12.035
But they do take the waste from
Portland that they haul to Eco

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7537-1
00:39:12.035 --> 00:39:16.980
Maine as part of, and a few of
them are out of, you know, I got

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7537-2
00:39:16.980 --> 00:39:21.540
hollers out in Hollis and Gray
and all around, but there's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7537-3
00:39:21.540 --> 00:39:26.254
servicing in Portland, and it
has been a surprise to some of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7537-4
00:39:26.254 --> 00:39:31.045
the newer ones that that's part
of their license to Paul to a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7537-5
00:39:31.045 --> 00:39:32.436
specific location.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7550-0
00:39:32.726 --> 00:39:35.746
So I'm thinking we've had some
that's been going out of.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7566-0
00:39:37.006 --> 00:39:41.714
Portland, that now that they are
fully licensed, will be going to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7566-1
00:39:41.714 --> 00:39:42.356
be going.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7580-0
00:39:42.826 --> 00:39:46.016
So it's a licensing plan program
that allows for that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7582-0
00:39:46.616 --> 00:39:47.106
Just police.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7590-0
00:39:48.826 --> 00:39:51.816
Something that I'm not.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7614-0
00:39:51.856 --> 00:39:56.472
I only know everybody has a
license program around here and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7614-1
00:39:56.472 --> 00:39:59.396
his other main, but I don't know
how.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7626-0
00:39:59.446 --> 00:40:02.836
Who is specific to where it gets
all to?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7656-0
00:40:03.306 --> 00:40:07.313
Because I know when we get
recycling reports, a lot of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7656-1
00:40:07.313 --> 00:40:11.757
small towns have no idea where
exactly what's the main towns

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7656-2
00:40:11.757 --> 00:40:11.976
or.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7669-0
00:40:12.506 --> 00:40:15.356
Yeah, there's, I mean, there's a
flow control law.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7687-0
00:40:15.426 --> 00:40:19.463
So you know when our entity was
created statutorily, these

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7687-1
00:40:19.463 --> 00:40:21.926
communities have to be bringing
it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7694-0
00:40:21.936 --> 00:40:23.986
But the question I guess is, are
they?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7697-0
00:40:24.146 --> 00:40:24.326
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7714-0
00:40:25.676 --> 00:40:28.164
And and have we verified that I
think you're talking about two

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7714-1
00:40:28.164 --> 00:40:28.836
different things?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7718-0
00:40:29.206 --> 00:40:29.716
Ohm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7748-0
00:40:30.346 --> 00:40:35.390
So most municipal contracts, our
contracting, they waste facility

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7748-1
00:40:35.390 --> 00:40:39.746
and that that holler has to haul
to that waste facility.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7779-0
00:40:41.446 --> 00:40:45.375
But I think what you're asking
is does the hall or have the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7779-1
00:40:45.375 --> 00:40:48.976
offer recycling pickup and hall
to a certain location?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7781-0
00:40:49.146 --> 00:40:49.586
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7783-0
00:40:49.596 --> 00:40:50.016
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7788-0
00:40:50.066 --> 00:40:51.096
So I yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7796-0
00:40:51.166 --> 00:40:53.086
And can that be done via the
contracts?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7816-0
00:40:53.096 --> 00:40:56.010
That's the most collies
licensing a hauler that we say

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7816-1
00:40:56.010 --> 00:40:57.546
or maybe it's not a contract.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7830-0
00:40:57.606 --> 00:40:59.966
You're saying it's not a
contract so built within the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7830-1
00:40:59.966 --> 00:41:00.316
license.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7859-0
00:41:00.446 --> 00:41:05.396
Most recycling contracts with
the disparities for curbside is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7859-1
00:41:05.396 --> 00:41:10.107
a separate contract with in in
my area, outside of the MSW

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7859-2
00:41:10.107 --> 00:41:10.746
culture.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7926-0
00:41:11.426 --> 00:41:15.862
And that's where they they offer
and all, uh, but and then they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7926-1
00:41:15.862 --> 00:41:20.160
would and I believe in those
contracting in the hall or would

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7926-2
00:41:20.160 --> 00:41:24.597
pick the recycling facility or
because they're just there's not

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7926-3
00:41:24.597 --> 00:41:29.172
many, you know in our area until
we reopen to halt that's why the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7926-4
00:41:29.172 --> 00:41:30.766
rates going up so high.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7941-0
00:41:31.936 --> 00:41:36.406
But most most common municipal
contracts are for MSW in in in.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7947-0
00:41:36.416 --> 00:41:40.016
This palette does usually
dictate where that's going.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7968-0
00:41:42.996 --> 00:41:46.852
I will comment that there are
split body trucks where

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/7968-1
00:41:46.852 --> 00:41:49.566
recycling and trash come in
together.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8004-0
00:41:50.016 --> 00:41:53.233
And a lot of the times, you
know, residents get confused

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8004-1
00:41:53.233 --> 00:41:56.845
when they see one vehicle being
used for two purposes, but they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8004-2
00:41:56.845 --> 00:42:00.006
don't know that it's going over
the scale twice, right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8014-0
00:42:00.016 --> 00:42:01.856
You don't want to say on the
other end.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8017-0
00:42:01.866 --> 00:42:02.626
Yeah, exactly.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8026-0
00:42:02.636 --> 00:42:03.646
Just they don't see that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8068-0
00:42:04.236 --> 00:42:07.239
And and there I I ran a hauling
division with the trucks and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8068-1
00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:10.390
they're actually like one of the
biggest phone calls we got was

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8068-2
00:42:10.390 --> 00:42:13.394
on recycling week because it
said they took my trash into my

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8068-3
00:42:13.394 --> 00:42:13.886
container.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8084-0
00:42:14.046 --> 00:42:18.903
The truck does have split body
right down the middle, the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8084-1
00:42:18.903 --> 00:42:19.406
Elena.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8102-0
00:42:22.626 --> 00:42:25.130
Umm I have a question for the
municipalities or or anyone

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8102-1
00:42:25.130 --> 00:42:25.346
else.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8114-0
00:42:25.356 --> 00:42:28.707
Who knows when municipalities
are looking to write the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8114-1
00:42:28.707 --> 00:42:29.316
contracts?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8130-0
00:42:29.606 --> 00:42:33.875
Do you tend to borrow from
another town, or do you have

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8130-1
00:42:33.875 --> 00:42:35.476
lawyers that do them?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8137-0
00:42:35.486 --> 00:42:37.376
Or do you do them without
lawyers?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8142-0
00:42:37.516 --> 00:42:38.766
How does that process work?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8151-0
00:42:41.766 --> 00:42:43.696
And my experience.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8163-0
00:42:43.786 --> 00:42:47.236
Usually the hauler presents the
misspelling with a contract.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8176-0
00:42:47.246 --> 00:42:50.187
The contracts from the hauler
and then they negotiate from

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8176-1
00:42:50.187 --> 00:42:50.436
that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8220-0
00:42:50.446 --> 00:42:54.432
I'm I'm showing this guys
running through their legal but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8220-1
00:42:54.432 --> 00:42:58.761
in my experience for a MSW you
contract it comes from the hall

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8220-2
00:42:58.761 --> 00:43:02.816
because usually these contracts
with just for the hauling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8253-0
00:43:03.246 --> 00:43:06.981
The municipality has an account
for the waste and like with the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8253-1
00:43:06.981 --> 00:43:10.250
MRC, you know they're all
contracted through us for the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8253-2
00:43:10.250 --> 00:43:12.526
ways, but we don't do anything
holler.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8262-0
00:43:14.346 --> 00:43:15.726
So it's not a contract.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8270-0
00:43:15.736 --> 00:43:18.316
Usually is disposal of the waste
that be.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8285-0
00:43:18.326 --> 00:43:21.666
For that, it's just for the hall
and whatever their collection.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8290-0
00:43:23.196 --> 00:43:24.186
Is he coming for that?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8300-0
00:43:24.916 --> 00:43:26.896
The communities arrange their
own home. Yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8308-0
00:43:26.906 --> 00:43:28.406
Yeah, we, we do know, Holly.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8310-0
00:43:28.476 --> 00:43:28.896
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8319-0
00:43:29.336 --> 00:43:31.296
So it has to come to us somehow.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8345-0
00:43:34.356 --> 00:43:36.947
It's like this is something that
needs to fit to the plant

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8345-1
00:43:36.947 --> 00:43:39.406
somewhere, but I feel like we
need more information to.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8357-0
00:43:40.676 --> 00:43:42.946
So hopefully we can get some
good written comments.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8369-0
00:43:43.816 --> 00:43:47.256
I think that's a good start or
question or comment.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8368-0
00:43:44.366 --> 00:43:44.696
Kick.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8380-0
00:43:47.806 --> 00:43:49.126
Because it is something that
isn't.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8409-0
00:43:49.136 --> 00:43:52.895
This is the thing I got my
office at Westbrook and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8409-1
00:43:52.895 --> 00:43:57.612
Westbrook's got a lot of a multi
unit looking up places to time

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8409-2
00:43:57.612 --> 00:43:59.086
and yeah, they have.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8441-0
00:43:59.156 --> 00:44:01.772
They, you know, they have
recycling and trash bins, but I

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8441-1
00:44:01.772 --> 00:44:04.703
don't live in one of them, so I
don't know how it works, but I I

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8441-2
00:44:04.703 --> 00:44:06.056
know it's got to be a problem.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8461-0
00:44:07.366 --> 00:44:10.787
Be right back down the street
and you'll see you know, 15

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8461-1
00:44:10.787 --> 00:44:12.556
trash cans, you know, roll up.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8464-0
00:44:12.566 --> 00:44:12.826
Roll.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8467-0
00:44:12.836 --> 00:44:14.096
You know no.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8477-0
00:44:14.406 --> 00:44:16.856
So there's orders not up there.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8504-0
00:44:17.496 --> 00:44:21.697
I'm not sure where they put them
all when they're not up and be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8504-1
00:44:21.697 --> 00:44:24.716
collected, so it's just a
physical issue too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8508-0
00:44:25.226 --> 00:44:26.046
Jackie Elliott.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8513-0
00:44:27.846 --> 00:44:28.486
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8547-0
00:44:29.166 --> 00:44:35.528
Umm, let me first say it's
encouraging to hear the serious

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8519-0
00:44:29.176 --> 00:44:29.406
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8533-0
00:44:34.386 --> 00:44:35.736
Yeah, 8.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8547-1
00:44:35.528 --> 00:44:41.782
efforts that are being put forth
to find solutions in our

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8547-2
00:44:41.782 --> 00:44:43.076
communities.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8553-0
00:44:41.976 --> 00:44:42.196
This.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8570-0
00:44:44.006 --> 00:44:44.436
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8610-0
00:44:45.316 --> 00:44:50.586
And I just kind of like to take
an overview, look at things

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8610-1
00:44:50.586 --> 00:44:56.121
here, little concerned that we
might be missing the forest for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8610-2
00:44:56.121 --> 00:45:01.391
the trees that we're focusing on
and we've entered into the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8610-3
00:45:01.391 --> 00:45:06.662
terrain of contracts around, you
know, waste collection and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8610-4
00:45:06.662 --> 00:45:09.736
processing and so on and so
forth.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8624-0
00:45:10.846 --> 00:45:15.036
Which brings us naturally to the
topic of Casella waste systems.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8627-0
00:45:15.906 --> 00:45:17.516
Umm, who?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8633-0
00:45:17.586 --> 00:45:19.346
Pretty much has a monopolized.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8691-0
00:45:20.586 --> 00:45:24.889
Situation in our state around
all of those operations and I

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8691-1
00:45:24.889 --> 00:45:29.480
just kind of like to broaden the
view a bit, remind people that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8691-2
00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:33.783
last spring, Cassella purported
there was a sludge disposal

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8691-3
00:45:33.783 --> 00:45:38.087
crisis at the Juniper Ridge
Landfill owned by the state and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8691-4
00:45:38.087 --> 00:45:39.306
operated by them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8749-0
00:45:40.656 --> 00:45:43.867
And the response to that was
Casella pressured the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8749-1
00:45:43.867 --> 00:45:47.331
legislature and the department
and managed to rollback

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8749-2
00:45:47.331 --> 00:45:51.361
legislative gains that had been
made in the previous session to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8749-3
00:45:51.361 --> 00:45:55.454
staunch the influx about a state
waste that's consuming disposal

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8749-4
00:45:55.454 --> 00:45:59.358
capacity at JRL, which is by
statute supposed to be there for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8749-5
00:45:59.358 --> 00:46:00.806
Maine, generated waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8784-0
00:46:01.956 --> 00:46:05.938
Umm, it is currently being
reported that we are in a 2 year

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8784-1
00:46:05.938 --> 00:46:09.853
window of time where we can
develop a sustainable solution

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8784-2
00:46:09.853 --> 00:46:11.446
for our sludge disposal.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8821-0
00:46:12.796 --> 00:46:18.148
But tending these DEP sessions,
it has become apparent to me

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8806-0
00:46:15.976 --> 00:46:16.226
Yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8821-1
00:46:18.148 --> 00:46:23.763
that there might be an appetite
for additional rollbacks on our

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8821-2
00:46:23.763 --> 00:46:27.536
proactive ban on land spreading
of sludge.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8827-0
00:46:28.136 --> 00:46:30.046
That was accomplished.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8867-0
00:46:30.196 --> 00:46:35.297
Importantly, umm, and it was
even purported by Mr Weld, I

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8867-1
00:46:35.297 --> 00:46:40.662
believe, umm, that the land
spreading of sludge could resume

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8867-2
00:46:40.662 --> 00:46:46.466
if there was an effective way of
removing P fast from the fledge.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8905-0
00:46:47.216 --> 00:46:51.213
Ohh, that completely ignores the
hazards posed by other toxics

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8905-1
00:46:51.213 --> 00:46:55.083
that are found in the sledge
products, such as having mental

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8898-0
00:46:53.736 --> 00:46:53.976
Yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8905-2
00:46:55.083 --> 00:46:56.986
metals, mercury, lead, dioxin.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8938-0
00:46:57.466 --> 00:47:00.580
These toxins, built up in the
environment and the food chain,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8938-1
00:47:00.580 --> 00:47:03.542
threaten human health and the
environment, and it has been

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8938-2
00:47:03.542 --> 00:47:06.656
established that there is no
safe level of exposure for lead.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8983-0
00:47:06.666 --> 00:47:12.803
For instance, I'm concerned also
that there appears to be an

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8952-0
00:47:10.706 --> 00:47:10.966
Right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8983-1
00:47:12.803 --> 00:47:18.437
appetite to port and pursue
latest I what I refer to as

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8983-2
00:47:18.437 --> 00:47:24.070
magic Tech Hosters who come
along with ways to make our

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8983-3
00:47:24.070 --> 00:47:26.686
waste magically disappear.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/8981-0
00:47:25.016 --> 00:47:25.326
You.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9004-0
00:47:27.536 --> 00:47:31.583
Umm, some of those are being
brought in under the title of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9004-1
00:47:31.583 --> 00:47:32.886
advanced Recycling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9065-0
00:47:32.896 --> 00:47:38.344
At this point, the HI Mike, the
newly resurrected operations at

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9008-0
00:47:34.556 --> 00:47:35.356
OK, no.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9065-1
00:47:38.344 --> 00:47:43.877
the MRC MRC facility in Hamden,
whole concerns for many of us as

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9065-2
00:47:43.877 --> 00:47:49.495
citizens because we would prefer
to see Main make serious efforts

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9065-3
00:47:49.495 --> 00:47:53.751
of framing our materials
management approach with

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9065-4
00:47:53.751 --> 00:47:56.986
legitimate 0 waste goals and
actions.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9067-0
00:47:58.266 --> 00:47:58.856
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9103-0
00:47:59.006 --> 00:48:03.624
And then just to kind of put a
little more pertinent context

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9103-1
00:48:03.624 --> 00:48:08.545
around things, we experienced a
recent fire JRL which to current

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9103-2
00:48:08.545 --> 00:48:10.816
knowledge is of unknown cause.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9105-0
00:48:11.366 --> 00:48:12.006
Mine.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9127-0
00:48:12.066 --> 00:48:15.336
To my knowledge, there's no
certifiable report of the extent

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9111-0
00:48:12.296 --> 00:48:12.616
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9127-1
00:48:15.336 --> 00:48:17.266
of damage that might have
occurred.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9134-0
00:48:17.966 --> 00:48:19.706
Right, what?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9151-0
00:48:18.576 --> 00:48:24.739
I'm Kirk has ceased operations
on the auction, has been put off

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9151-1
00:48:24.739 --> 00:48:28.206
till at least the end of the
month.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9169-0
00:48:28.576 --> 00:48:32.788
The last I was aware waste was
still gathering on the tipping

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9161-0
00:48:29.986 --> 00:48:30.176
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9169-1
00:48:32.788 --> 00:48:33.196
floor.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9207-0
00:48:34.536 --> 00:48:38.848
And then the recent several
days, we have twice that we are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9207-1
00:48:38.848 --> 00:48:43.376
aware of experienced what might
be iodine emissions of unknown

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9207-2
00:48:43.376 --> 00:48:46.466
origin pouring from the stack of
eco main.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9232-0
00:48:46.736 --> 00:48:50.830
We have been assured that no
harm has occurred because the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9226-0
00:48:50.176 --> 00:48:50.396
Right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9232-1
00:48:50.830 --> 00:48:54.646
emissions were released from the
eco mains toss stack.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9244-0
00:48:54.736 --> 00:48:56.906
Well, that's another whole
argument in my book.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9254-0
00:48:58.076 --> 00:49:01.596
A purple haze has made the
invisible visible.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9293-0
00:49:03.086 --> 00:49:07.592
A narrative is forming out there
that it might be that folks are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9293-1
00:49:07.592 --> 00:49:11.751
dumping the wrong things in
their kitchen trash, and that's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9293-2
00:49:11.751 --> 00:49:13.276
why there's a problem.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9366-0
00:49:14.356 --> 00:49:18.807
Again, I would argue that
besides the purple smoke that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9303-0
00:49:16.426 --> 00:49:16.566
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9366-1
00:49:18.807 --> 00:49:23.495
we're seeing in the sky, I
believe what is also visible is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9366-2
00:49:23.495 --> 00:49:27.787
that Maine is quickly
approaching a crisis point when

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9366-3
00:49:27.787 --> 00:49:31.840
materials management that
despite some of the very

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9366-4
00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:36.768
progressive things that we've
put in place, it's all well and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9366-5
00:49:36.768 --> 00:49:41.218
good to talk about the
particulars of infrastructure on

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9366-6
00:49:41.218 --> 00:49:43.046
the back end of things.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9372-0
00:49:43.256 --> 00:49:43.446
This.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9400-0
00:49:43.756 --> 00:49:49.274
But I would really like to see
some focus go on the front end

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9400-1
00:49:49.274 --> 00:49:54.613
of the discussion of dealing
with things before they end up

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9400-2
00:49:54.613 --> 00:49:57.016
being our choices as waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9416-0
00:49:58.326 --> 00:49:58.866
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9441-0
00:50:00.686 --> 00:50:04.074
Talk about ways to reduce the
top of our hierarchy, risking

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9441-1
00:50:04.074 --> 00:50:07.406
getting through some of these
other questions, but we will

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9441-2
00:50:07.406 --> 00:50:10.681
definitely be talking about
waste reduction and reuse and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9441-3
00:50:10.681 --> 00:50:11.076
repair.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9457-0
00:50:11.086 --> 00:50:16.806
Those are important topics for
the plan and thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9455-0
00:50:15.126 --> 00:50:15.626
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9486-0
00:50:18.016 --> 00:50:22.765
Umm, so actually that's a good
Segway into her next talking

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9486-1
00:50:22.765 --> 00:50:26.406
point, although it isn't quite
that specific.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9492-0
00:50:26.486 --> 00:50:26.586
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9505-0
00:50:27.766 --> 00:50:31.778
If you had greater funding for
your community or your business,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9505-1
00:50:31.778 --> 00:50:32.656
what have you?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9551-0
00:50:32.846 --> 00:50:36.680
How would you invest it and what
would be an ideal management

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9551-1
00:50:36.680 --> 00:50:40.515
system if we had unlimited money
to put programs in place for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9551-2
00:50:40.515 --> 00:50:44.597
managing materials higher up the
heart hierarchy for doing better

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9551-3
00:50:44.597 --> 00:50:47.256
with our infrastructure for you
know what?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9557-0
00:50:47.266 --> 00:50:48.236
What would it look like?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9572-0
00:50:48.246 --> 00:50:51.256
So just just kind of some
thoughts and visions for.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9592-0
00:50:55.136 --> 00:50:58.344
If you feel like sharing it is a
big question, we can narrow it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9592-1
00:50:58.344 --> 00:50:59.296
down if that helps.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9597-0
00:50:59.356 --> 00:50:59.766
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9604-0
00:50:59.776 --> 00:51:02.386
I mean reuse infrastructure
would be huge.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9618-0
00:51:02.396 --> 00:51:05.959
Yeah, I mean, Washington
industrial washing stations

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9618-1
00:51:05.959 --> 00:51:07.236
would be excellent.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9635-0
00:51:07.596 --> 00:51:11.375
Yeah, I think South Portland has
been focusing a lot on food

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9635-1
00:51:11.375 --> 00:51:12.366
waste diversion.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9649-0
00:51:12.376 --> 00:51:14.656
I know it's still not that high
up on hierarchy, but.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9661-0
00:51:16.136 --> 00:51:19.372
Funding just definitely been
what's prevented us from moving

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9661-1
00:51:19.372 --> 00:51:19.796
forward.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9755-0
00:51:24.666 --> 00:51:28.510
So just wanted to mention too,
in case if people aren't aware

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9755-1
00:51:28.510 --> 00:51:31.857
that the bottle Bill
modernization active just passed

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9755-2
00:51:31.857 --> 00:51:35.329
the asset or gym, Brian could
speak to this better, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9755-3
00:51:35.329 --> 00:51:38.863
there's actually gonna be
funding set aside specifically

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9755-4
00:51:38.863 --> 00:51:42.707
for refillables and I don't know
what do you want funding set

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9755-5
00:51:42.707 --> 00:51:46.612
aside to do a study to kind of
look into or a fillable program

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9755-6
00:51:46.612 --> 00:51:50.456
and how we could what kind of
infrastructure we would need to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9755-7
00:51:50.456 --> 00:51:52.316
get something like that going.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9776-0
00:51:53.966 --> 00:51:56.520
So that's pretty exciting
because that could have that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9776-1
00:51:56.520 --> 00:51:58.656
could have big implications
across the state.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9795-0
00:51:58.826 --> 00:52:02.630
Glasses are heavy material, so
it's a lot better to refill it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9795-1
00:52:02.630 --> 00:52:03.796
than to recycle it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9823-0
00:52:03.806 --> 00:52:07.139
And frankly, the recycling
options are pretty limited for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9823-1
00:52:07.139 --> 00:52:10.702
glass in the region anyway, so
it's some potential incentives

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9823-2
00:52:10.702 --> 00:52:12.196
and CPR for reuse as well.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9827-0
00:52:12.306 --> 00:52:12.496
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9885-0
00:52:14.416 --> 00:52:19.716
I'm not a municipality, but I go
out and see a lot of transfer

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9885-1
00:52:19.716 --> 00:52:25.016
stations that municipalities and
usually that's the last place

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9885-2
00:52:25.016 --> 00:52:29.979
that gets going to kind of
funding a lot of the, you know,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9885-3
00:52:29.979 --> 00:52:35.111
basic infrastructure at the
transfer stations and the roads,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9885-4
00:52:35.111 --> 00:52:39.906
the signage on educating the
transfer station operators.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9902-0
00:52:41.546 --> 00:52:46.212
I can see a lot of money, just
very basic educational

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9902-1
00:52:46.212 --> 00:52:47.076
materials.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9910-0
00:52:47.566 --> 00:52:49.416
For instance, I kind of playing
around with.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9929-0
00:52:49.426 --> 00:52:52.827
What about some kind of sheet to
that could be, you know,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9929-1
00:52:52.827 --> 00:52:54.996
customized to each transfer
station.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9950-0
00:52:55.006 --> 00:52:59.356
So if someone walks in and says
I have X waist, you guys don't

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9950-1
00:52:59.356 --> 00:53:00.046
accept it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9971-0
00:53:00.056 --> 00:53:02.729
We're going to do with it the
transfer station operator should

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9971-1
00:53:02.729 --> 00:53:04.596
be able to refer them right then
and there.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9980-0
00:53:05.286 --> 00:53:07.266
You know, this is where you can
take it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9989-0
00:53:08.316 --> 00:53:10.066
Maybe that's something we could
help with too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/9992-0
00:53:10.136 --> 00:53:11.006
Yeah, exactly.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10004-0
00:53:11.136 --> 00:53:13.446
Yeah, because The thing is that
I found it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10008-0
00:53:13.456 --> 00:53:14.506
It's not easy.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10023-0
00:53:14.556 --> 00:53:17.477
People won't do it, and that's
the public and that's the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10023-1
00:53:17.477 --> 00:53:17.836
output.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10033-0
00:53:19.006 --> 00:53:21.176
Sorry, we got to echo that
obviously not.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10094-0
00:53:21.466 --> 00:53:24.689
We just tell you what I do waste
management trainings for staff

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10094-1
00:53:24.689 --> 00:53:27.610
across our company and one of
the big takeaways that I've

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10094-2
00:53:27.610 --> 00:53:30.683
learned to set, people really
don't understand how to manage

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10094-3
00:53:30.683 --> 00:53:33.654
their case, don't understand
that plastics have different,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10094-4
00:53:33.654 --> 00:53:36.726
that are made of different types
of plastics, that there are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10094-5
00:53:36.726 --> 00:53:38.036
numbers like basic things.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10113-0
00:53:38.556 --> 00:53:43.083
Umm, people do not know this and
agree that needs to be as simple

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10113-1
00:53:43.083 --> 00:53:43.906
as possible.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10159-0
00:53:44.296 --> 00:53:49.734
So putting fund contention, I
think something that command

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10159-1
00:53:49.734 --> 00:53:54.803
this quarter effort into
education, yeah, you guys see

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10159-2
00:53:54.803 --> 00:54:00.149
that that's you know has a
positive effect on the body or

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10159-3
00:54:00.149 --> 00:54:01.716
cycle hands down.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10189-0
00:54:01.726 --> 00:54:04.808
I mean, you know, we have 3
educators full time, you know,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10189-1
00:54:04.808 --> 00:54:08.151
working in this realm and going
to the schools and bringing the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10189-2
00:54:08.151 --> 00:54:08.726
schools in.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10199-0
00:54:08.736 --> 00:54:11.836
And and it's endless because you
get a new prop.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10229-0
00:54:11.846 --> 00:54:16.123
Students the next year, the
students take it home to their

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10229-1
00:54:16.123 --> 00:54:20.836
parents very, very high value in
terms of the the return for us.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10265-0
00:54:21.386 --> 00:54:25.146
But I will comment on if you've
done your work OK on

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10265-1
00:54:25.146 --> 00:54:29.262
recyclables, you know, right now
we have kind of a static

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10265-2
00:54:29.262 --> 00:54:30.326
recycling rate.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10287-0
00:54:31.266 --> 00:54:34.584
Part of the problem, too, is the
most material we get is, you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10287-1
00:54:34.584 --> 00:54:37.046
know, mixed paper which has a
negative value.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10302-0
00:54:37.886 --> 00:54:40.924
You know, we're paying anywhere
from 50 to $90.00 a ton to move

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10302-1
00:54:40.924 --> 00:54:41.066
it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10333-0
00:54:42.106 --> 00:54:45.339
That's not a sustainable
business model for, you know,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10333-1
00:54:45.339 --> 00:54:48.631
for profit entities, we're able
to do it because of the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10333-2
00:54:48.631 --> 00:54:50.336
flexibility of our our setup.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10380-0
00:54:50.826 --> 00:54:54.834
But you know, maybe incubators,
you know, at the university

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10380-1
00:54:54.834 --> 00:54:58.976
levels to take, you know, these
local recycling materials and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10380-2
00:54:58.976 --> 00:55:03.251
turn them into something useful
locally as opposed to having it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10380-3
00:55:03.251 --> 00:55:05.856
to ship it, you know, 6000 miles
away.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10384-0
00:55:06.916 --> 00:55:07.116
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10395-0
00:55:07.126 --> 00:55:09.126
That's to me, it's a no brainer,
really.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10398-0
00:55:10.206 --> 00:55:10.496
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10424-0
00:55:10.506 --> 00:55:13.784
When you University of Maine,
Orono has some they've done some

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10424-1
00:55:13.784 --> 00:55:16.750
work around that, like looking
at scrap from fishing and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10424-2
00:55:16.750 --> 00:55:17.166
working.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10432-0
00:55:17.176 --> 00:55:19.086
They process at the Plaza.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10438-0
00:55:19.176 --> 00:55:20.936
They were on the university
campus right here.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10502-0
00:55:20.946 --> 00:55:25.760
Maybe there's a program that the
department could help fund to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10502-1
00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:29.810
kind of get it going as a
materials lab here at USN,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10502-2
00:55:29.810 --> 00:55:34.624
they're looking at, you know,
plastic type uses for conversion

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10502-3
00:55:34.624 --> 00:55:39.361
of, you know, I feel from the
from fish, shellfish materials,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10502-4
00:55:39.361 --> 00:55:43.946
this stuff that's happening, I'm
not sure it's coordinated.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10511-0
00:55:45.106 --> 00:55:46.816
It takes a long time to scale up
too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10520-0
00:55:46.986 --> 00:55:50.316
Once you find works, definitely.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10532-0
00:55:50.326 --> 00:55:53.296
But you know, I think, yeah, you
have to start somewhere.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10596-0
00:55:53.366 --> 00:55:57.334
I think that's kind of the point
that kind of one of the things

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10596-1
00:55:57.334 --> 00:56:01.178
we've also talked about in a
couple of the meetings so far is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10596-2
00:56:01.178 --> 00:56:05.084
deconstruction as a way to, you
know, target both a huge waste

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10596-3
00:56:05.084 --> 00:56:08.742
strain and to provide education
and economic opportunities

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10596-4
00:56:08.742 --> 00:56:11.346
because it's pretty low barrier
to entry.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10632-0
00:56:11.356 --> 00:56:14.201
It could be a good training
program and some of the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10632-1
00:56:14.201 --> 00:56:17.266
technical occasional schools
were able to offer program

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10632-2
00:56:17.266 --> 00:56:20.658
because you can get carpentry
skills, but also there's a huge

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10632-3
00:56:20.658 --> 00:56:21.096
benefit.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10680-0
00:56:21.106 --> 00:56:24.178
We have a lot of aging housing
here, and rather than just

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10680-1
00:56:24.178 --> 00:56:27.620
destroying things, learning how
to either repair and renovate or

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10680-2
00:56:27.620 --> 00:56:30.427
deconstruct and thoughtful
manner so you're not just

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10680-3
00:56:30.427 --> 00:56:33.393
knocking everything down and
losing everything in value

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10680-4
00:56:33.393 --> 00:56:35.406
socially, some of the heritage
woods.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10693-0
00:56:35.416 --> 00:56:38.586
And anyway, we've talked about
that in some of the meetings.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10708-0
00:56:38.596 --> 00:56:41.139
I think there's a huge
opportunity there, but there's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10708-1
00:56:41.139 --> 00:56:43.306
other states doing other states
are doing it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10711-0
00:56:43.316 --> 00:56:45.466
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10759-0
00:56:45.476 --> 00:56:49.368
Before we lose the previous
train of thought because I think

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10759-1
00:56:49.368 --> 00:56:53.324
that deconstruction is a good a
good comment, but the I think

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10759-2
00:56:53.324 --> 00:56:56.577
one of the issues that
challenges education around

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10759-3
00:56:56.577 --> 00:57:00.087
recycling is lack of clear
labeling for packaging just

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10759-4
00:57:00.087 --> 00:57:00.916
consistently.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10769-0
00:57:00.926 --> 00:57:03.006
You know, you stick that chasing
arrows on it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10776-0
00:57:03.016 --> 00:57:03.926
It's got a number.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10790-0
00:57:04.456 --> 00:57:07.992
People throw that stuff in the
bin because that's what they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10790-1
00:57:07.992 --> 00:57:09.406
relate to recyclability.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10817-0
00:57:09.416 --> 00:57:12.134
So I think you know, I know
California has been looking at

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10817-1
00:57:12.134 --> 00:57:15.036
this under a microscope and and
really trying to enforce that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10824-0
00:57:15.466 --> 00:57:17.296
Just putting that on there,
doesn't it?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10861-0
00:57:17.306 --> 00:57:21.401
It's a like virtue signaling to
make money, and that there needs

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10861-1
00:57:21.401 --> 00:57:25.433
to be some sort of like truth in
labeling or better enforcement

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10861-2
00:57:25.433 --> 00:57:28.016
for compliance so that these
things are.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10875-0
00:57:28.526 --> 00:57:32.075
It actually means something to
put a recycling symbol on a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10875-1
00:57:32.075 --> 00:57:32.556
package.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10913-0
00:57:32.826 --> 00:57:36.356
That's a really good point,
because with lead acid batteries

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10913-1
00:57:36.356 --> 00:57:40.060
you get the chasing symbol and
people throw that acid batteries

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10913-2
00:57:40.060 --> 00:57:41.796
and the recyclables are worse.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10924-0
00:57:41.806 --> 00:57:45.016
Lithium ion batteries and then
we have a whole nother issue.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10931-0
00:57:45.476 --> 00:57:47.276
So I agree with that, but that's
it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10938-0
00:57:47.286 --> 00:57:48.216
Thank you for that comment.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10967-0
00:57:49.156 --> 00:57:52.687
Just following up on the
comment, I feel like there needs

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10967-1
00:57:52.687 --> 00:57:56.462
to be maybe a bit more stick and
a little less cared, I don't

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10967-2
00:57:56.462 --> 00:57:56.766
know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/10975-0
00:57:56.776 --> 00:58:01.266
But like you know, just
enforcing greater.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11022-0
00:58:02.746 --> 00:58:05.639
Like I don't know if we wanna
say penalties, but just like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11022-1
00:58:05.639 --> 00:58:08.776
calling people out, I know that
you come in has done some great

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11022-2
00:58:08.776 --> 00:58:11.914
work with like you know, putting
a red sticker or green sticker

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11022-3
00:58:11.914 --> 00:58:13.336
on bins instead of you idiot.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11024-0
00:58:13.386 --> 00:58:14.716
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11033-0
00:58:15.086 --> 00:58:18.796
So if you don't, yeah, time to
ramp it up.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11047-0
00:58:19.346 --> 00:58:26.516
Subtle, subtle, and and then
also different topic, but uh.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11143-0
00:58:26.906 --> 00:58:31.312
We have unlimited dollars here
enabling recycling to go to eco

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11143-1
00:58:31.312 --> 00:58:35.578
main and plastic bags or I know
plastic bags, you know, like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11143-2
00:58:35.578 --> 00:58:40.054
that's bad but but when you have
like 3000 people in a hospital

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11143-3
00:58:40.054 --> 00:58:44.180
and you're trying to like go
through every single room and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11143-4
00:58:44.180 --> 00:58:48.586
you know, yes, we can improve
processes there, but just to get

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11143-5
00:58:48.586 --> 00:58:53.062
that discussion moving forward
like plastic bags are so helpful

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11143-6
00:58:53.062 --> 00:58:57.048
to the staff when they're
cleaning out something instead

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11143-7
00:58:57.048 --> 00:58:59.776
of cleaning out every single bin
just.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11157-0
00:58:59.926 --> 00:59:03.069
Yeah, comes with tenable to
actually recycle at the hospital

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11157-1
00:59:03.069 --> 00:59:03.636
instead of.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11172-0
00:59:05.036 --> 00:59:07.868
Just saying it would be better
if they were plastic if you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11172-1
00:59:07.868 --> 00:59:08.156
could.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11190-0
00:59:08.306 --> 00:59:11.606
If these guys had their way to
handle your recyclables with

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11190-1
00:59:11.606 --> 00:59:13.476
coming start, is there
equipment?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11203-0
00:59:14.606 --> 00:59:16.726
I mean, it's probably bad, bad
breaking equipment.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11231-0
00:59:16.736 --> 00:59:19.175
We're actually in the process
of, you know, working on a brand

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11231-1
00:59:19.175 --> 00:59:21.575
new facility, but it's gonna
take a couple of years to get it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11231-2
00:59:21.575 --> 00:59:22.156
up and running.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11244-0
00:59:22.686 --> 00:59:26.455
You know, certainly bring these
points back to management of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11244-1
00:59:26.455 --> 00:59:26.826
parts.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11267-0
00:59:27.266 --> 00:59:31.797
Let's bring glass out first, and
I don't know what the new plants

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11267-1
00:59:31.797 --> 00:59:32.896
gonna look like.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11291-0
00:59:32.906 --> 00:59:36.512
The design, you know, we're
dealing with the plan from 2006

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11291-1
00:59:36.512 --> 00:59:38.856
now and it's it's getting
getting old.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11297-0
00:59:39.226 --> 00:59:41.426
That's really typical, though,
for complaints.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11305-0
00:59:41.616 --> 00:59:43.116
Pretty plans to separate out
first, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11315-0
00:59:44.546 --> 00:59:47.326
We were talking about the glass
out.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11321-0
00:59:47.336 --> 00:59:48.136
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11341-0
00:59:48.146 --> 00:59:50.534
We were just talking about that
yesterday as potential

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11341-1
00:59:50.534 --> 00:59:52.922
opportunity for like an
alternative collection program

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11341-2
00:59:52.922 --> 00:59:53.356
under APR.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11362-0
00:59:53.366 --> 00:59:57.796
Is that pulling glass out and
separating it keeps it easier to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11362-1
00:59:57.796 --> 00:59:59.976
market, so something like that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11365-0
00:59:59.986 --> 01:00:01.806
Really Melissa?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11372-0
01:00:01.816 --> 01:00:02.926
Joan has a comment.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11378-0
01:00:03.296 --> 01:00:04.096
Melissa, you're on.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11388-0
01:00:05.026 --> 01:00:05.796
You're also muted.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11386-0
01:00:06.936 --> 01:00:07.366
Hi there.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11393-0
01:00:07.376 --> 01:00:07.936
Can you hear me?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11391-0
01:00:08.656 --> 01:00:08.776
Yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11395-0
01:00:09.396 --> 01:00:10.006
Great.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11408-0
01:00:10.296 --> 01:00:14.406
So back to your question about
greater funding and investing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11428-0
01:00:14.716 --> 01:00:18.433
I'd like to just kind of throw
it back to the department of,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11428-1
01:00:18.433 --> 01:00:20.626
you know, DEP, because I have
been.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11488-0
01:00:20.636 --> 01:00:24.506
I watched their prior public
hearings and I read through the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11488-1
01:00:24.506 --> 01:00:28.440
transcripts really quickly and
there seems to be a disconnect

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11488-2
01:00:28.440 --> 01:00:32.564
between the department that not
every that representatives don't

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11488-3
01:00:32.564 --> 01:00:35.991
seem to be communicating very
well and that not every

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11488-4
01:00:35.991 --> 01:00:39.734
representative knew what was
going on in our landfills and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11488-5
01:00:39.734 --> 01:00:40.686
our facilities.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11494-0
01:00:40.736 --> 01:00:41.076
Please.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11526-0
01:00:41.256 --> 01:00:44.596
And I just wonder if the
department had some better

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11526-1
01:00:44.596 --> 01:00:48.643
funding, if you could maybe do
or think about restructuring so

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11526-2
01:00:48.643 --> 01:00:51.663
that there is better
communication between the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11526-3
01:00:51.663 --> 01:00:54.746
department representatives and
our legislators.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11556-0
01:00:57.476 --> 01:01:01.053
Are you saying that there's a
disconnect with the department

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11556-1
01:01:01.053 --> 01:01:04.396
between different department
staff or between the women?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11550-0
01:01:01.396 --> 01:01:03.646
First, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11552-0
01:01:05.526 --> 01:01:06.016
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11596-0
01:01:06.026 --> 01:01:09.579
So listening to the public
hearings, there was some, you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11596-1
01:01:09.579 --> 01:01:13.630
know, discussion about MRC, the
Municipal Review Committee and I

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11596-2
01:01:13.630 --> 01:01:16.186
know Mike is, there's probably
cringing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11638-0
01:01:16.196 --> 01:01:20.507
Hopefully I don't say anything
inappropriate, but that you know

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11638-1
01:01:20.507 --> 01:01:24.413
that you they remember is that
were on the public hearing

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11638-2
01:01:24.413 --> 01:01:28.454
meetings for this solid waste
plan, didn't know who the MRC

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11638-3
01:01:28.454 --> 01:01:31.755
was, didn't know what the
facility was, what the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11638-4
01:01:31.755 --> 01:01:34.516
permitting was, how the
permitting went.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11653-0
01:01:34.766 --> 01:01:35.466
It just seems to.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11651-0
01:01:35.796 --> 01:01:36.786
I don't know who the other.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11656-0
01:01:37.156 --> 01:01:37.566
I don't.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11659-0
01:01:37.576 --> 01:01:38.386
I don't know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11670-0
01:01:38.516 --> 01:01:39.956
I think that you may be talking
about.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11739-0
01:01:39.966 --> 01:01:44.926
There was a time when we were
getting specific questions about

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11739-1
01:01:44.926 --> 01:01:49.571
items at at the facility and
always having at the facility

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11739-2
01:01:49.571 --> 01:01:54.688
and we're the staff that was at
those meetings weren't the staff

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11714-0
01:01:53.286 --> 01:01:53.476
OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11739-3
01:01:54.688 --> 01:01:59.333
that are the project managers
for those facilities, but we

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11739-4
01:01:59.333 --> 01:02:00.356
wouldn't, no.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11725-0
01:01:59.886 --> 01:02:00.196
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11732-0
01:02:00.466 --> 01:02:01.696
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11776-0
01:02:01.706 --> 01:02:05.819
I don't know if that you know, I
don't know if that's the problem

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11761-0
01:02:03.606 --> 01:02:04.076
And so but.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11776-1
01:02:05.819 --> 01:02:09.621
because we can't communicate to
our legislators that we need

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11776-2
01:02:09.621 --> 01:02:12.426
more funding if we're not having
these plan.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11813-0
01:02:12.436 --> 01:02:15.425
These discussions about our
plans, but the people that are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11813-1
01:02:15.425 --> 01:02:18.718
representing solid waste in the
state of Maine didn't know about

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11813-2
01:02:18.718 --> 01:02:20.896
all the facilities that were in
operation.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11827-0
01:02:21.386 --> 01:02:23.781
No, we just we couldn't answer
detailed questions about the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11827-1
01:02:23.781 --> 01:02:26.096
facility operation because we're
not the project manager.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11836-0
01:02:26.546 --> 01:02:28.366
Yeah, there wasn't that we
didn't know about.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11873-0
01:02:28.506 --> 01:02:32.477
The facilities is that we were
getting some specific questions

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11873-1
01:02:32.477 --> 01:02:36.321
about them that you know, unless
you're the the staff person

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11873-2
01:02:36.321 --> 01:02:40.166
who's assigned that facility,
you're not going to know that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11899-0
01:02:40.326 --> 01:02:43.394
And I'm I don't want to have our
staff trying to answer a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11891-0
01:02:41.516 --> 01:02:41.756
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11899-1
01:02:43.394 --> 01:02:45.246
question that's going to be
wrong.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11927-0
01:02:46.016 --> 01:02:50.068
So we can provide the way if
someone has a specific question

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11927-1
01:02:50.068 --> 01:02:54.186
about facility, we can direct
them to the right staff person.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11929-0
01:02:52.386 --> 01:02:52.716
He.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11942-0
01:02:54.196 --> 01:02:57.074
But I know the staff person
knows all the information about

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11942-1
01:02:57.074 --> 01:02:57.506
facility.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11953-0
01:03:00.006 --> 01:03:02.106
There's also an ongoing issue
right now with staff.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11955-0
01:03:04.516 --> 01:03:04.656
Yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11957-0
01:03:04.896 --> 01:03:05.106
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11976-0
01:03:06.226 --> 01:03:08.798
So it's just not comfortable to
have people know becoming

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11976-1
01:03:08.798 --> 01:03:10.926
hearings and fortunately so
that's not helping.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11977-0
01:03:09.466 --> 01:03:09.956
He had.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11981-0
01:03:12.436 --> 01:03:12.656
They.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11996-0
01:03:13.126 --> 01:03:15.836
Yeah, like, I guess two.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/11999-0
01:03:15.846 --> 01:03:18.056
I mean, again, the purpose of
the meaning, these meetings.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12022-0
01:03:20.086 --> 01:03:24.006
RDA for us to I didn't have to
send this for us to answer

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12022-1
01:03:24.006 --> 01:03:26.506
questions about specific
facilities.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12043-0
01:03:27.446 --> 01:03:32.170
The purpose of these meetings is
to get feedback from people

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12043-1
01:03:32.170 --> 01:03:36.817
about updating the materials
management plan, which are two

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12043-2
01:03:36.817 --> 01:03:38.056
separate things.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12045-0
01:03:40.326 --> 01:03:40.546
Right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12093-0
01:03:44.296 --> 01:03:49.188
Well, I'll just quickly wrap it
up that you know, I just in my

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12093-1
01:03:49.188 --> 01:03:54.158
experience have noticed that our
legislators and throughout the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12093-2
01:03:54.158 --> 01:03:58.506
state do not know about the
severity of municipal solid

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12093-3
01:03:58.506 --> 01:04:00.836
waste management in our state.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12119-0
01:04:00.906 --> 01:04:04.216
And I would like to see some
greater resources to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12119-1
01:04:04.216 --> 01:04:08.320
municipalities and facilities
to, you know, make sure that we

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12119-2
01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:09.776
can do that correctly.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12141-0
01:04:09.786 --> 01:04:14.479
So my suggestion for increased
funding and investment would be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12141-1
01:04:14.479 --> 01:04:17.756
to open up a dialogue with our
legislators.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12144-0
01:04:19.976 --> 01:04:20.216
OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12153-0
01:04:21.576 --> 01:04:25.316
Yeah, effectively now has it
coming.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12165-0
01:04:26.406 --> 01:04:27.096
You wanna later?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12159-0
01:04:27.946 --> 01:04:28.166
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12222-0
01:04:28.176 --> 01:04:32.117
I just want to reassure Melissa
that, well, while there are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12222-1
01:04:32.117 --> 01:04:36.451
certain people in the department
that know the details on certain

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12222-2
01:04:36.451 --> 01:04:40.195
things, and I think there is a
very sort of conservative

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12222-3
01:04:40.195 --> 01:04:43.938
approach to make sure that we're
not providing incorrect

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12222-4
01:04:43.938 --> 01:04:48.141
information, we we do have, we
are having discussions about how

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12222-5
01:04:48.141 --> 01:04:50.046
we can increase coordination.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12250-0
01:04:50.356 --> 01:04:53.660
That is something that we are
looking into and just wanna

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12250-1
01:04:53.660 --> 01:04:57.078
reassure you that it's not
something that uh, is completely

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12250-2
01:04:57.078 --> 01:04:57.876
off the table.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12254-0
01:05:06.466 --> 01:05:06.786
Alright.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12256-0
01:05:06.796 --> 01:05:07.336
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12261-0
01:05:07.426 --> 01:05:08.096
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12264-0
01:05:08.746 --> 01:05:09.496
And thank you, Melissa.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12267-0
01:05:09.716 --> 01:05:10.116
That's it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12312-0
01:05:10.896 --> 01:05:13.794
I'm not sure I I didn't quite
understand your question first,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12312-1
01:05:13.794 --> 01:05:16.879
but I do see I do see your point
and part of the reason why we're

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12312-2
01:05:16.879 --> 01:05:19.730
when we had the waste version
grant program, we have the API

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12312-3
01:05:19.730 --> 01:05:21.086
for packaging program coming.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12366-0
01:05:21.316 --> 01:05:24.816
So those are both efforts to
help municipalities and and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12366-1
01:05:24.816 --> 01:05:28.684
they're open to grant is also
open to businesses to, you know,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12366-2
01:05:28.684 --> 01:05:32.367
provide more opportunities to
divert material and resources

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12366-3
01:05:32.367 --> 01:05:36.051
for, well, the packaging program
will provide resources for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12366-4
01:05:36.051 --> 01:05:38.016
building out infrastructure too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12394-0
01:05:38.026 --> 01:05:41.839
So those are things that we're
aware of, but any kind of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12394-1
01:05:41.839 --> 01:05:45.586
detailed suggestions that you
have, umm would be great.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12424-0
01:05:45.596 --> 01:05:48.762
Like so, if you have something
specific for your community,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12424-1
01:05:48.762 --> 01:05:51.982
what your Community needs or
things that you have identified

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12424-2
01:05:51.982 --> 01:05:54.726
as a need, that that's really
helpful feedback too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12444-0
01:06:05.256 --> 01:06:08.653
So the packaging program is
actually the next thing up on

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12444-1
01:06:08.653 --> 01:06:09.766
our talking points.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12447-0
01:06:10.106 --> 01:06:10.616
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12474-0
01:06:11.386 --> 01:06:16.270
And essentially that's going to
require participating in this

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12474-1
01:06:16.270 --> 01:06:20.131
qualities to collect a
designated sweet sweet of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12474-2
01:06:20.131 --> 01:06:21.076
recyclables.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12480-0
01:06:21.746 --> 01:06:23.696
But it won't be mandatory to
participate.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12515-0
01:06:23.706 --> 01:06:27.045
It will be, you know, test set
to opt in to participate and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12515-1
01:06:27.045 --> 01:06:30.273
we'll have to keep some records
in order to be reimbursed

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12515-2
01:06:30.273 --> 01:06:32.276
through the search of
organization.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12535-0
01:06:32.346 --> 01:06:35.149
You'd be better to talk about
this than we actually do want to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12535-1
01:06:35.149 --> 01:06:35.416
short.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12575-0
01:06:35.816 --> 01:06:42.609
So we're in the process of I'm
making rules for the law and we

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12575-1
01:06:42.609 --> 01:06:49.293
are accepting public comment at
this time will be shared with

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12575-2
01:06:49.293 --> 01:06:56.086
some draft for some conceptual
rules this starting this month.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12588-0
01:06:56.396 --> 01:07:00.496
But broadly speaking, it is a
optional program that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12588-1
01:07:00.496 --> 01:07:03.256
municipalities can participate
in.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12635-0
01:07:03.266 --> 01:07:08.162
And yeah, the two conditions are
that you will have to collect

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12635-1
01:07:08.162 --> 01:07:13.136
all the materials that are on a
list of readily recyclable list

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12635-2
01:07:13.136 --> 01:07:17.722
and you will also have to
provide some information so that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12635-3
01:07:17.722 --> 01:07:20.986
we can quantify the
reimbursement amount.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12663-0
01:07:21.096 --> 01:07:25.004
So reporting and collecting all
the materials that are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12663-1
01:07:25.004 --> 01:07:29.552
considered readily recyclable at
this point, we're creating the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12663-2
01:07:29.552 --> 01:07:31.826
criteria for readily recyclable.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12671-0
01:07:32.416 --> 01:07:34.986
That is something that is done.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12678-0
01:07:34.996 --> 01:07:37.106
It's looked at on an annual
basis.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12684-0
01:07:37.816 --> 01:07:38.616
That list has not.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12688-0
01:07:39.026 --> 01:07:40.126
Then maybe.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12721-0
01:07:40.216 --> 01:07:45.973
Yeah, but I also wanted to add
about the carrot and stick that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12721-1
01:07:45.973 --> 01:07:51.274
you mentioned that in this
program, that's the dynamic is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12721-2
01:07:51.274 --> 01:07:52.096
more fun.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12736-0
01:07:52.106 --> 01:07:58.906
The producers and the state and
labeling is one of the we're

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12736-1
01:07:58.906 --> 01:08:01.136
calling it a factor.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12754-0
01:08:01.146 --> 01:08:04.146
It's one of the factors that we
can incentivize in the program.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12761-0
01:08:04.156 --> 01:08:06.136
We're actually looking for some
input on that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12784-0
01:08:07.006 --> 01:08:11.800
There's a list of factors that
we can, you know, penalize

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12784-1
01:08:11.800 --> 01:08:16.016
producers, or when it comes to
packaging material.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12799-0
01:08:16.026 --> 01:08:19.574
And one of them is just
misleading or inaccurate

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12799-1
01:08:19.574 --> 01:08:20.226
labeling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12827-0
01:08:20.736 --> 01:08:24.754
And maybe that's, you know, we
didn't get any strong opinion

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12827-1
01:08:24.754 --> 01:08:28.640
about what to prioritize in
terms of this list of factors,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12827-2
01:08:28.640 --> 01:08:30.946
but maybe labeling is one of
them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12837-0
01:08:33.186 --> 01:08:34.326
Tell me you have something to
add.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12866-0
01:08:36.496 --> 01:08:41.409
Ah yes, I've I've been involved
with the PR meetings and you'd

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12866-1
01:08:41.409 --> 01:08:46.166
mentioned that that we're going
to have a readily recyclable

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12866-2
01:08:46.166 --> 01:08:46.556
list.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12869-0
01:08:46.626 --> 01:08:47.116
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12877-0
01:08:46.786 --> 01:08:46.946
The.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12932-0
01:08:47.126 --> 01:08:51.144
That was one of my first
questions way back when, and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12932-1
01:08:51.144 --> 01:08:55.831
once the list is put together,
they're going to be a draft and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12894-0
01:08:52.026 --> 01:08:52.416
This.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12932-2
01:08:55.831 --> 01:09:00.593
then sent out followed up with a
a meeting to discuss that list

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12904-0
01:08:55.906 --> 01:08:56.176
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12932-3
01:09:00.593 --> 01:09:05.281
because I think our friend Andy
will will be pretty interested

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12923-0
01:09:01.266 --> 01:09:01.666
Motion.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12932-4
01:09:05.281 --> 01:09:05.876
in that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12933-0
01:09:05.826 --> 01:09:05.966
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12935-0
01:09:08.266 --> 01:09:08.516
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12945-0
01:09:08.526 --> 01:09:12.016
What we're doing is we're
defining readily recyclable.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13002-0
01:09:12.026 --> 01:09:16.812
We're setting up that criteria
and that annual meeting when we

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/12956-0
01:09:13.856 --> 01:09:14.056
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13002-1
01:09:16.812 --> 01:09:20.762
gather round stakeholders,
producers, you know, the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13002-2
01:09:20.762 --> 01:09:25.319
administrative body, which is
known as the so and we get to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13002-3
01:09:25.319 --> 01:09:30.257
talking about what materials are
meeting these criteria and then

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13002-4
01:09:30.257 --> 01:09:31.776
we create that list.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13022-0
01:09:31.786 --> 01:09:38.124
We're not expecting that list to
change frequently, but will we

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13013-0
01:09:35.846 --> 01:09:36.046
No.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13022-1
01:09:38.124 --> 01:09:41.986
be proposing the initial list in
Rule?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13029-0
01:09:41.996 --> 01:09:43.396
That's not going to happen.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13038-0
01:09:43.406 --> 01:09:44.756
It's just the criteria.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13036-0
01:09:45.376 --> 01:09:45.906
OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13040-0
01:09:45.956 --> 01:09:46.566
OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13050-0
01:09:46.576 --> 01:09:49.726
You mentioned in add an annual
meeting.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13057-0
01:09:49.736 --> 01:09:50.976
Did you mean just a meeting?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13078-0
01:09:52.166 --> 01:09:57.163
Yeah, that's part of the
rulemaking for the program, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13075-0
01:09:56.306 --> 01:09:57.366
OK, OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13078-1
01:09:57.163 --> 01:09:58.916
still kind of, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13098-0
01:09:58.466 --> 01:10:04.138
So so the the the SSO will be
working with us on the criteria

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13098-1
01:10:04.138 --> 01:10:07.706
for the readily recyclable
definition.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13102-0
01:10:09.046 --> 01:10:10.706
No, that's something we're
doing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13137-0
01:10:10.926 --> 01:10:16.013
So the the really recycle will
be definition, the definition

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13137-1
01:10:16.013 --> 01:10:21.016
will be defined in the rules and
then the and then the yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13128-0
01:10:17.966 --> 01:10:18.116
But.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13157-0
01:10:21.026 --> 01:10:24.771
So the specific criteria for the
what's really recycle will be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13146-0
01:10:21.926 --> 01:10:22.186
Yep.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13157-1
01:10:24.771 --> 01:10:27.386
defined in the rules and then
the SSO will.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13164-0
01:10:28.256 --> 01:10:30.086
Determine the material.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13186-0
01:10:30.096 --> 01:10:34.502
That's meets that criteria and
is considered readily

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13186-1
01:10:34.502 --> 01:10:35.416
recyclable.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13197-0
01:10:36.136 --> 01:10:40.306
At at with a published list or
as the waste comes in.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13217-0
01:10:44.736 --> 01:10:47.096
OK, OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13230-0
01:10:47.146 --> 01:10:50.156
And that'll be like a living
document, probably.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13245-0
01:10:50.666 --> 01:10:54.586
We reviewed the annually, so I
think Elena's got.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13249-0
01:10:54.076 --> 01:10:55.876
OK. Gotcha.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13252-0
01:10:54.946 --> 01:10:56.656
Yeah, I do.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13256-0
01:10:57.806 --> 01:10:58.156
Elena.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13254-0
01:10:58.906 --> 01:10:59.336
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13275-0
01:10:59.406 --> 01:11:02.006
Thank you. Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13274-0
01:10:59.516 --> 01:11:00.856
Yeah. Yep.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13288-0
01:11:00.616 --> 01:11:04.269
So so Tony, one of the things
that's gonna be defined in Rule

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13288-1
01:11:04.269 --> 01:11:07.746
is what that process, what that
annual process looks like.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13310-0
01:11:07.816 --> 01:11:10.236
So if you have thoughts on that,
you should it be great if you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13310-1
01:11:10.236 --> 01:11:10.966
could send them in.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13308-0
01:11:11.566 --> 01:11:12.046
All right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13312-0
01:11:12.146 --> 01:11:12.526
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13342-0
01:11:14.346 --> 01:11:20.476
And this also involves like
signage and universal education,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13342-1
01:11:20.476 --> 01:11:26.505
like signaling to uh, to the
public what it is that's being

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13342-2
01:11:26.505 --> 01:11:28.716
recycled and accepted.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13372-0
01:11:28.726 --> 01:11:33.644
So I think we we're getting some
comments too around just how to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13372-1
01:11:33.644 --> 01:11:37.881
how that will become more
universal as a result of this

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13372-2
01:11:37.881 --> 01:11:38.486
program.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13420-0
01:11:38.546 --> 01:11:43.439
And again, municipalities don't
have to participate, but it will

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13420-1
01:11:43.439 --> 01:11:48.333
certainly for those that are, it
will start to seed that list in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13420-2
01:11:48.333 --> 01:11:53.076
the public and it will probably
become, have it even for folks

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13420-3
01:11:53.076 --> 01:11:57.066
who are in a municipality that
aren't participating.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13425-0
01:11:57.456 --> 01:11:59.236
That's the expectation, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13432-0
01:11:59.616 --> 01:12:00.506
Like as a resident.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13447-0
01:12:00.516 --> 01:12:04.484
Like if you move from one town
to another town, you can at

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13447-1
01:12:04.484 --> 01:12:05.426
least recycle.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13487-0
01:12:05.886 --> 01:12:09.690
Yeah, that list there might be
more like eco main mix, except a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13487-1
01:12:09.690 --> 01:12:13.316
few additional other things, but
orchesella may accept a few

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13487-2
01:12:13.316 --> 01:12:16.882
other additional things, but
that list will be whether your

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13487-3
01:12:16.882 --> 01:12:19.676
source separated or single
stream or whatever.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13493-0
01:12:19.686 --> 01:12:20.786
You can put those things in your
bed.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13514-0
01:12:23.406 --> 01:12:26.896
Don't blame is back a linear on.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13506-0
01:12:27.466 --> 01:12:27.836
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13517-0
01:12:27.846 --> 01:12:29.636
I just have a question for the
group.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13568-0
01:12:30.456 --> 01:12:34.802
One of the things that we
realize is that by the time this

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13568-1
01:12:34.802 --> 01:12:39.515
gets, you know, there's a lot of
municipalities that don't have

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13568-2
01:12:39.515 --> 01:12:43.935
any program and we are also
looking for thoughts on and and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13568-3
01:12:43.935 --> 01:12:48.575
for a better understanding of
how a programs initially get set

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13568-4
01:12:48.575 --> 01:12:48.796
up.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13588-0
01:12:49.706 --> 01:12:53.114
So if anyone has any thoughts or
insight on that, that'd be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13588-1
01:12:53.114 --> 01:12:53.796
appreciated.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13630-0
01:13:01.976 --> 01:13:05.760
We're thinking that this is
another opportunity for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13630-1
01:13:05.760 --> 01:13:09.908
regionalization where you have
one municipality you know

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13630-2
01:13:09.908 --> 01:13:13.837
possibly finding a way to
participate through another

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13630-3
01:13:13.837 --> 01:13:18.494
municipality, because now that
municipality you know is meeting

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13630-4
01:13:18.494 --> 01:13:19.586
those criteria.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13640-0
01:13:19.656 --> 01:13:21.646
So just another opportunity for
regionalization.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13698-0
01:13:23.186 --> 01:13:27.456
So Speaking of realization, my
understanding was when we first

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13698-1
01:13:27.456 --> 01:13:31.795
we were invited into a meeting
with Elena and then I believe in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13698-2
01:13:31.795 --> 01:13:35.794
the beginning, like once we
restart this facility with the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13698-3
01:13:35.794 --> 01:13:39.929
optical sword and everything
else and meet the criteria that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13698-4
01:13:39.929 --> 01:13:44.064
list that's going to be key for
providing information in our

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13698-5
01:13:44.064 --> 01:13:44.606
Members.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13713-0
01:13:44.616 --> 01:13:48.120
Those member municipalities
would be considered to have as a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13713-1
01:13:48.120 --> 01:13:49.786
participating in the program.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13728-0
01:13:50.716 --> 01:13:53.469
You know we we track the volume
coming in and have track the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13728-1
01:13:53.469 --> 01:13:54.236
volume going out.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13752-0
01:13:55.766 --> 01:13:59.611
So when you talk about
implementing a program or or or

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13752-1
01:13:59.611 --> 01:14:03.036
that type of thing that that's
my first thought.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13762-0
01:14:03.046 --> 01:14:05.764
If they're in other regions,
yes, it's coming to the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13762-1
01:14:05.764 --> 01:14:06.226
facility.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13768-0
01:14:07.026 --> 01:14:07.356
Yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13801-0
01:14:07.366 --> 01:14:10.355
And those municipalities are
participating because they're

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13801-1
01:14:10.355 --> 01:14:12.989
gonna be reporting with the
information that you're

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13801-2
01:14:12.989 --> 01:14:16.332
providing them, which is simply,
yeah, maybe only to clarify what

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13801-3
01:14:16.332 --> 01:14:16.636
it is.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13848-0
01:14:16.746 --> 01:14:20.352
I guess my examples is say say
somewhere to happen like like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13848-1
01:14:20.352 --> 01:14:24.017
like we we all know what what
what the outcomes gonna be with

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13848-2
01:14:24.017 --> 01:14:27.328
perk right now and everything
else and and one of those

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13848-3
01:14:27.328 --> 01:14:29.456
clients comes over to the
facility.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13889-0
01:14:29.526 --> 01:14:32.563
This will waste lution solutions
and we're we're up and going and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13889-1
01:14:32.563 --> 01:14:35.369
they didn't have a program, but
would that be considered now

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13889-2
01:14:35.369 --> 01:14:38.176
they do have a program because
they're having to the server.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13953-0
01:14:38.526 --> 01:14:41.968
If you're providing for the
recycling of all of what's on a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13953-1
01:14:41.968 --> 01:14:45.295
list, and then they get the
information that they need to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13953-2
01:14:45.295 --> 01:14:47.934
report if they've met both
criteria and their

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13953-3
01:14:47.934 --> 01:14:51.433
participating, I believe the
only question on the prior list

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13953-4
01:14:51.433 --> 01:14:55.162
that we talked about was class,
but I think we found a under the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13953-5
01:14:55.162 --> 01:14:56.596
construction piece of it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13978-0
01:14:56.606 --> 01:15:02.499
I think we found a resolved from
them because our glass goes into

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13978-1
01:15:02.499 --> 01:15:07.857
grid, but yeah, that's still
with the beneficial beneficial

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13978-2
01:15:07.857 --> 01:15:09.196
use use, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13983-0
01:15:09.206 --> 01:15:09.936
Yeah, I think that's.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/13994-0
01:15:12.766 --> 01:15:15.806
Yeah, I think that's just
something to consider.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14002-0
01:15:16.306 --> 01:15:17.776
Another meeting, right? Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14027-0
01:15:17.786 --> 01:15:20.359
That I was thinking that as we
have for these definitions,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14027-1
01:15:20.359 --> 01:15:22.976
because I did, you know, Tony
kind of led the front for us.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14045-0
01:15:22.986 --> 01:15:25.693
I lost a little bit of track of
it, but I remember the sitting

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14045-1
01:15:25.693 --> 01:15:26.466
down conversation.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14071-0
01:15:26.506 --> 01:15:30.271
So I think I just wanted to
clarify that with the unknowns

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14071-1
01:15:30.271 --> 01:15:34.036
that might be happening with the
next three or four weeks.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14084-0
01:15:34.626 --> 01:15:37.899
As we discussed this, yes, it's
gonna need a lot more

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14084-1
01:15:37.899 --> 01:15:38.566
discussion.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14086-0
01:15:38.706 --> 01:15:39.236
Glasses.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14091-0
01:15:39.676 --> 01:15:40.956
Yeah, I'm glasses.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14095-0
01:15:40.966 --> 01:15:41.366
A.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14105-0
01:15:42.566 --> 01:15:46.026
Is it material that will be
editional discussion?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14107-0
01:15:46.456 --> 01:15:46.676
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14116-0
01:15:48.456 --> 01:15:49.746
Yeah, and that is littering.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14119-0
01:15:49.756 --> 01:15:50.586
It's on the list.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14121-0
01:15:50.656 --> 01:15:51.376
Yeah. OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14156-0
01:15:56.946 --> 01:16:00.395
If we can talk about the
packaging program more or we can

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14156-1
01:16:00.395 --> 01:16:03.904
move on to our next question,
which is looking at what are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14156-2
01:16:03.904 --> 01:16:05.986
some of the really, I have
Jackie.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14163-0
01:16:06.186 --> 01:16:07.956
OK, Jackie, brace them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14164-0
01:16:08.716 --> 01:16:08.966
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14195-0
01:16:09.286 --> 01:16:15.059
Hi this isn't really a packaging
question or topic and if I'm

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14195-1
01:16:15.059 --> 01:16:20.460
really glad we're focusing on
the micro aspects of all of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14195-2
01:16:20.460 --> 01:16:20.926
this.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14211-0
01:16:21.096 --> 01:16:25.566
But I just like to switch our
gaze to the macro if I might.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14240-0
01:16:25.576 --> 01:16:32.086
For a moment, umm, within the
context of extended producer

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14240-1
01:16:32.086 --> 01:16:38.043
responsibility overall, the
issue of solar panels and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14240-2
01:16:38.043 --> 01:16:42.236
turbine blades and parts end of
life?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14245-0
01:16:43.216 --> 01:16:43.676
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14311-0
01:16:43.916 --> 01:16:50.364
If we do accomplish making gains
and renewable generation of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14311-1
01:16:50.364 --> 01:16:57.129
energy, we're going to have to
factor in the end of life aspect

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14311-2
01:16:57.129 --> 01:17:03.366
of things on the front end
rather than, you know, 25 years

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14311-3
01:17:03.366 --> 01:17:09.602
down the road saying ohh oops,
we need to do something and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14311-4
01:17:09.602 --> 01:17:16.156
actually with turbine blades the
the lifespan of those is not

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14311-5
01:17:16.156 --> 01:17:17.636
that extended.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14335-0
01:17:18.806 --> 01:17:24.392
Umm, I really would like to see
serious discussion about these

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14335-1
01:17:24.392 --> 01:17:28.116
topics that we really have a
view toward.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14327-0
01:17:24.526 --> 01:17:24.836
Yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14351-0
01:17:28.646 --> 01:17:33.487
If you build these facilities,
you're going to have to show the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14351-1
01:17:33.487 --> 01:17:34.016
surety.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14355-0
01:17:35.266 --> 01:17:35.766
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14366-0
01:17:36.026 --> 01:17:39.156
To cover the cost of what
happens if end of life?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14395-0
01:17:39.226 --> 01:17:45.101
And then included in that, we've
gotta figure out what is going

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14395-1
01:17:45.101 --> 01:17:48.956
to be the end of life for these
products.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14428-0
01:17:49.656 --> 01:17:55.134
Umm, Mr Boyd said he doesn't
want panel solar panels and JRL,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14428-1
01:17:55.134 --> 01:18:00.789
which I think is probably smart,
so we really need to have some

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14428-2
01:18:00.789 --> 01:18:03.616
serious conversation about this.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14440-0
01:18:03.626 --> 01:18:04.026
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14434-0
01:18:04.516 --> 01:18:05.426
Yeah, I'm Jackie.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14451-0
01:18:05.436 --> 01:18:08.746
Just see you know LD 466 was
resolved.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14477-0
01:18:08.756 --> 01:18:13.162
That's the requiring the
department to look at solar

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14477-1
01:18:13.162 --> 01:18:18.398
panels and blades and evaluate
them against the criteria for a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14477-2
01:18:18.398 --> 01:18:20.726
product stewardship program.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14498-0
01:18:21.696 --> 01:18:25.730
So that's and that's going to be
in this upcoming years, our

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14498-1
01:18:25.730 --> 01:18:27.516
product stewardship report.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14527-0
01:18:27.526 --> 01:18:31.229
So yeah, it's a, it's something
we know about and we are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14527-1
01:18:31.229 --> 01:18:35.321
planning to work on and study
over the course of this fall and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14527-2
01:18:35.321 --> 01:18:35.776
winter.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14533-0
01:18:37.636 --> 01:18:38.076
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14543-0
01:18:39.626 --> 01:18:42.286
So that may not be something
that's in the waste management.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14599-0
01:18:42.296 --> 01:18:46.469
That's not gonna be in the waste
management plan because it is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14599-1
01:18:46.469 --> 01:18:50.643
going to be specific since it's
already been called out for us

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14599-2
01:18:50.643 --> 01:18:54.684
to do this specific study on
solar panels and window blades,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14599-3
01:18:54.684 --> 01:18:58.857
we're gonna treat it as that and
put it in the throne solution

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14599-4
01:18:58.857 --> 01:18:59.586
for it. So.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14622-0
01:19:03.776 --> 01:19:06.086
So maybe maybe define it in the
waste management plan is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14622-1
01:19:06.086 --> 01:19:07.626
something that's part of the
product.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14625-0
01:19:07.876 --> 01:19:08.426
It's too much.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14654-0
01:19:08.436 --> 01:19:12.406
Well, only defined as a material
of concern, and so I think that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14654-1
01:19:12.406 --> 01:19:15.766
it will be mentioned in the
pleasant material concern.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14663-0
01:19:16.276 --> 01:19:19.636
Seeing the portion of the
product stewardship report.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14676-0
01:19:20.216 --> 01:19:25.006
Regarding the outcome of the
report required by LD 466.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14687-0
01:19:27.666 --> 01:19:29.356
Hi Kat you're presenter.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14689-0
01:19:31.026 --> 01:19:31.696
Oh, thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14699-0
01:19:31.706 --> 01:19:32.986
I can you hear me?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14711-0
01:19:33.546 --> 01:19:34.296
Yep, yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14704-0
01:19:34.246 --> 01:19:35.186
Ohh good.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14741-0
01:19:35.346 --> 01:19:39.962
I just wanted to add on to what
Jackie just said about the wind

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14741-1
01:19:39.962 --> 01:19:44.650
turbine blades and I'm I do have
466 up queued up in my research

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14741-2
01:19:44.650 --> 01:19:45.876
to be discovered.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14759-0
01:19:45.886 --> 01:19:50.250
I sent you out a document today
on wind turbine blades and pee

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14759-1
01:19:50.250 --> 01:19:50.596
fast.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14886-0
01:19:51.506 --> 01:19:55.581
There's concern in Europe and
other places in the United

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14886-1
01:19:55.581 --> 01:19:59.871
States that the epoxies they're
used in construction of the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14781-0
01:19:55.846 --> 01:19:56.166
It's.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14886-2
01:19:59.871 --> 01:20:04.446
turbine blades which are about
so far as why does or as long as

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14802-0
01:20:02.076 --> 01:20:02.256
No.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14886-3
01:20:04.446 --> 01:20:09.022
the football field is wide, to
give you some perspective of the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14886-4
01:20:09.022 --> 01:20:13.526
size of these and they have a
warranty of five years that they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14886-5
01:20:13.526 --> 01:20:18.173
often wear out sooner, ocean or
offshore blades, where where are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14848-0
01:20:16.756 --> 01:20:16.996
There's.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14886-6
01:20:18.173 --> 01:20:22.177
even sooner, as in, is the
department doing anything in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14886-7
01:20:22.177 --> 01:20:26.466
testing around existing wind
turbines to see if there's any

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14886-8
01:20:26.466 --> 01:20:30.041
toxic chemicals or micro
plastics that are being,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14886-9
01:20:30.041 --> 01:20:32.186
obviously they're wearing out.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14907-0
01:20:32.696 --> 01:20:36.172
So the the materials that are
used to build these things and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14907-1
01:20:36.172 --> 01:20:38.566
make them resilient are often
not either.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14914-0
01:20:38.626 --> 01:20:40.726
BPA, or P Foss.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14963-0
01:20:40.866 --> 01:20:45.594
And so that's just kind of like
spewing more toxins into the air

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14963-1
01:20:45.594 --> 01:20:50.030
and it would probably be as
simple thing to do to include it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14963-2
01:20:50.030 --> 01:20:54.758
in with the P fast testing that
you're doing now and the Tier 1,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14963-3
01:20:54.758 --> 01:20:56.576
Tier 2, etcetera, uh you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14985-0
01:20:56.636 --> 01:21:01.020
So I just wondered, is the DP
planning on testing them or is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14985-1
01:21:01.020 --> 01:21:01.236
it?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/14988-0
01:21:01.296 --> 01:21:02.486
Let's not go.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15004-0
01:21:02.496 --> 01:21:04.636
Look, they're trouble or you
know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15000-0
01:21:05.106 --> 01:21:05.696
Well, there's just.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15021-0
01:21:05.706 --> 01:21:09.338
No, there's no plans for doing
any testing around windmills or

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15021-1
01:21:09.338 --> 01:21:10.606
anything at this time.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15028-0
01:21:12.226 --> 01:21:14.586
So I think we'll just wait this.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15032-0
01:21:14.596 --> 01:21:15.646
We'll see.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15036-0
01:21:16.196 --> 01:21:17.806
You know what?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15069-0
01:21:17.816 --> 01:21:20.854
Their recommendations are the
report once we come out and then

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15069-1
01:21:20.854 --> 01:21:23.941
if if seems like that might be a
need, then we will approach it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15069-2
01:21:23.941 --> 01:21:24.616
at that point.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15096-0
01:21:24.626 --> 01:21:28.088
Right now, there's no plans to
do any additional any any

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15096-1
01:21:28.088 --> 01:21:31.246
analysis of any around any of
the existing windows.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15105-0
01:21:31.916 --> 01:21:34.806
Well, how about if citizens do
it?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15153-0
01:21:34.816 --> 01:21:38.489
You know, I mean, if someone
lives underneath a wind turbine

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15153-1
01:21:38.489 --> 01:21:42.404
and would like to know this, is
there a possibility that the DEP

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15153-2
01:21:42.404 --> 01:21:46.258
could put up something on their
website that with the P fat you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15153-3
01:21:46.258 --> 01:21:48.486
have an extensive website on P
fast.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15170-0
01:21:48.496 --> 01:21:52.549
Right now it wouldn't be that
difficult to just create a form

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15170-1
01:21:52.549 --> 01:21:53.726
requesting a test.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15210-0
01:21:54.236 --> 01:21:58.266
I don't know how you could do
this in the private sector, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15210-1
01:21:58.266 --> 01:22:02.491
maybe the DEP could provide that
information so that land owners

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15210-2
01:22:02.491 --> 01:22:06.131
who live close by wind turbines
can get the soil tested

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15210-3
01:22:06.131 --> 01:22:06.846
themselves.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15222-0
01:22:09.326 --> 01:22:11.816
I don't think there's that we
can send out.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15228-0
01:22:11.826 --> 01:22:12.806
Yeah, we I guess.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15246-0
01:22:13.316 --> 01:22:17.116
Well, so you mean there's
nothing stopping U.S.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15253-0
01:22:17.126 --> 01:22:19.516
Citizen from testing their own
property?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15283-0
01:22:20.396 --> 01:22:26.377
Uh, and I mean, until we
actually know, I mean, I haven't

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15269-0
01:22:23.546 --> 01:22:23.906
OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15283-1
01:22:26.377 --> 01:22:28.336
seen what you said.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15285-0
01:22:28.346 --> 01:22:28.716
I don't.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15297-0
01:22:28.766 --> 01:22:31.436
I've done to dive deep and what
the what?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15304-0
01:22:31.446 --> 01:22:32.696
What's in windmill blades?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15341-0
01:22:32.706 --> 01:22:38.157
But you know, until we actually
figure out if that might even be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15341-1
01:22:38.157 --> 01:22:43.273
an issue, you know, we are not
going to recommend or require

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15341-2
01:22:43.273 --> 01:22:46.376
any kind of testing until that
time.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15353-0
01:22:46.686 --> 01:22:49.096
So but.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15343-0
01:22:47.596 --> 01:22:48.146
Right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15384-0
01:22:48.156 --> 01:22:52.442
But umm, that we're about to
launch into two huge wind

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15384-1
01:22:52.442 --> 01:22:57.352
turbine projects that offshore
and onshore and we just now are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15368-0
01:22:54.436 --> 01:22:54.626
I.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15384-2
01:22:57.352 --> 01:23:01.171
dealing with the P fast
contamination from waste

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15384-3
01:23:01.171 --> 01:23:02.496
treatment sludge.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15424-0
01:23:02.746 --> 01:23:06.319
So don't you think it's better
to get ahead of the problem and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15424-1
01:23:06.319 --> 01:23:09.778
find out now before we give
permitting to these projects for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15424-2
01:23:09.778 --> 01:23:10.856
them to go forward?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15436-0
01:23:11.066 --> 01:23:15.904
The NECC corridor was not very
popular, but it wasn't

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15436-1
01:23:15.904 --> 01:23:19.756
contaminating the land that we
know about.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15457-0
01:23:20.516 --> 01:23:25.259
It just seems that getting ahead
of the problem might be a way to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15457-1
01:23:25.259 --> 01:23:27.056
divert attention from it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15465-0
01:23:27.066 --> 01:23:28.836
I think right now I sent you a
document.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15475-0
01:23:28.846 --> 01:23:30.436
Is this Robert that I'm talking
to like?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15489-0
01:23:30.446 --> 01:23:32.196
It's hard to tell because
everybody.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15508-0
01:23:31.626 --> 01:23:35.416
And frying, yeah, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15496-0
01:23:32.756 --> 01:23:33.676
Ohh Brian.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15501-0
01:23:33.686 --> 01:23:35.596
OK. It's it's.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15536-0
01:23:35.966 --> 01:23:40.418
Yeah, it's just I sent you some
information on landfilling and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15536-1
01:23:40.418 --> 01:23:44.870
recycling of turbines and also a
potential risk for P face and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15536-2
01:23:44.870 --> 01:23:47.556
BPA used in the construction of
them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15551-0
01:23:47.566 --> 01:23:49.916
So you know, you know how to get
ahold of me.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15560-0
01:23:48.296 --> 01:23:48.646
Look.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15568-0
01:23:49.926 --> 01:23:52.406
So I'll just let I'll give up my
I'll yield the floor.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15574-0
01:23:53.416 --> 01:23:54.416
Thank you for letting me talk.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15578-0
01:23:56.466 --> 01:23:56.966
Thanks Jeff.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15595-0
01:24:00.476 --> 01:24:03.071
Yeah, I mean, I guess we'll just
you know, for us, we're not

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15595-1
01:24:03.071 --> 01:24:03.326
gonna.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15616-0
01:24:04.056 --> 01:24:08.398
You know, we're not gonna do any
recommend or do any testing on

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15616-1
01:24:08.398 --> 01:24:09.416
any facilities.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15631-0
01:24:09.426 --> 01:24:13.621
And so we actually have a better
idea of what what the situation

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15631-1
01:24:13.621 --> 01:24:14.266
is, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15667-0
01:24:14.276 --> 01:24:17.533
So I'm not sure the soil
sampling is is we don't have

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15667-1
01:24:17.533 --> 01:24:21.211
that anywhere of kids that we
can send out to people to test

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15667-2
01:24:21.211 --> 01:24:22.116
their own soil.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15678-0
01:24:22.126 --> 01:24:25.626
No, I I mean there's more to
soil sampling than.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15685-0
01:24:25.636 --> 01:24:27.836
Yeah, that would be a very then
what?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15687-0
01:24:28.286 --> 01:24:28.806
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15708-0
01:24:28.986 --> 01:24:31.415
Yeah, it's very sophisticated
when you're talking to levels

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15708-1
01:24:31.415 --> 01:24:33.196
that you're, you know you're
talking about.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15746-0
01:24:33.256 --> 01:24:37.650
Yeah, below detection levels and
again, you know it's you can't

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15746-1
01:24:37.650 --> 01:24:41.838
just test for everything you
have to test for what you think

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15746-2
01:24:41.838 --> 01:24:46.026
might be an issue when we don't
even know exactly what's in.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15751-0
01:24:47.076 --> 01:24:47.926
But I don't.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15756-0
01:24:47.976 --> 01:24:48.906
Sorry, I don't know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15762-0
01:24:48.976 --> 01:24:49.556
I'm it's help.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15784-0
01:24:49.566 --> 01:24:53.080
Don't know what's in and in
these in in windmills to what

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15784-1
01:24:53.080 --> 01:24:54.716
blades to make it actually.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15790-0
01:24:56.006 --> 01:24:57.046
See what the concern is.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15809-0
01:24:57.056 --> 01:24:59.617
So there's variation of the
different like solar panels have

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15809-1
01:24:59.617 --> 01:25:00.876
all kinds of different, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15818-0
01:25:00.886 --> 01:25:03.336
There's some different
manufacturers and such.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15827-0
01:25:03.346 --> 01:25:06.386
So yeah, that's why this study
will be important.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15833-0
01:25:06.876 --> 01:25:08.516
This is how we're looking into
it, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15877-0
01:25:14.176 --> 01:25:17.593
So the next question in our
talking points was kind of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15877-1
01:25:17.593 --> 01:25:21.508
trying to think about some of
the really big waste dreams like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15877-2
01:25:21.508 --> 01:25:24.987
umm bulky waste or other
materials that are problematic

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15877-3
01:25:24.987 --> 01:25:26.416
that we're landfilling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15923-0
01:25:26.426 --> 01:25:29.439
A lot of are there opportunities
to like, think higher up the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15923-1
01:25:29.439 --> 01:25:32.015
hierarchy is there are there
ways streams that we're

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15923-2
01:25:32.015 --> 01:25:34.931
disposing right now that we
could potentially be looking at

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15923-3
01:25:34.931 --> 01:25:37.896
creating infrastructure programs
to start pulling those out?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15936-0
01:25:37.906 --> 01:25:40.995
Like I've mentioned, the
deconstruction right, like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15936-1
01:25:40.995 --> 01:25:42.836
that's such a huge opportunity.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15941-0
01:25:42.846 --> 01:25:44.176
But are there others?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15950-0
01:25:44.256 --> 01:25:46.626
What else could we be doing or
like?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15982-0
01:25:47.106 --> 01:25:50.002
Yeah, I mean, I guess if you,
I'll just add two, you think

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15982-1
01:25:50.002 --> 01:25:52.800
about you know, the goal here is
to limit as to meet our

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15982-2
01:25:52.800 --> 01:25:54.616
recycling and waste diversion
goals.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15984-0
01:25:54.626 --> 01:25:55.136
What?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15986-0
01:25:55.246 --> 01:25:55.836
What?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/15991-0
01:25:56.226 --> 01:25:57.766
What are you?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16070-0
01:25:57.806 --> 01:26:02.126
I mean, there's the numbers that
come out of this, but in terms

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16070-1
01:26:02.126 --> 01:26:06.581
of what's actually in the waste,
what are you seeing in the waste

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16070-2
01:26:06.581 --> 01:26:10.428
stream that when people low
hanging fruit for us to deal

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16070-3
01:26:10.428 --> 01:26:14.343
with for diversion, how does
that one point like we we've

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16070-4
01:26:14.343 --> 01:26:18.596
talked with the researchers at
University of Maine who look at

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16070-5
01:26:18.596 --> 01:26:21.296
kind of the the reuse economy in
Maine.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16099-0
01:26:21.466 --> 01:26:24.766
And one thing that they found in
talking to people who run second

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16099-1
01:26:24.766 --> 01:26:27.166
hand and charitable
organizations does that the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16099-2
01:26:27.166 --> 01:26:29.116
quality of some things have gone
down.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16133-0
01:26:29.126 --> 01:26:31.980
So, for instance, furniture is
no longer lasting as longer they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16133-1
01:26:31.980 --> 01:26:34.700
might get donated things that
you know at one time you might

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16133-2
01:26:34.700 --> 01:26:37.286
have a couch that we stay in
your family for generations.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16144-0
01:26:37.296 --> 01:26:39.536
And now they're just kind of
falling apart so.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16172-0
01:26:40.086 --> 01:26:43.832
Umm, just kind of some
perspective there in terms of it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16172-1
01:26:43.832 --> 01:26:47.377
seems sometimes the second
second life may not be as

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16172-2
01:26:47.377 --> 01:26:49.116
feasible as it used to be.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16212-0
01:26:49.506 --> 01:26:52.791
So yeah, and then the other
thing too is like some kind of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16212-1
01:26:52.791 --> 01:26:56.188
asking like why we consider
anecdotal, you know, what do you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16212-2
01:26:56.188 --> 01:26:57.636
guys seeing in the screen?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16234-0
01:26:57.706 --> 01:27:01.641
But that being said, we are we
did get a grant from EPA to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16234-1
01:27:01.641 --> 01:27:04.576
actually do a waste
characterization study.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16255-0
01:27:04.906 --> 01:27:08.480
We're working on the RFP for
that now and we hope hope to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16255-1
01:27:08.480 --> 01:27:09.836
have that out for bid.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16257-0
01:27:10.676 --> 01:27:11.746
No and.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16277-0
01:27:12.936 --> 01:27:16.295
Unfortunately, they you won't
have the results back for this

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16277-1
01:27:16.295 --> 01:27:16.846
the court.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16295-0
01:27:17.156 --> 01:27:20.391
But no, by next year we'll have
the results of that waste

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16295-1
01:27:20.391 --> 01:27:21.786
characteristics to study.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16323-0
01:27:21.796 --> 01:27:26.288
So we actually have a expect to
have a really good idea of what

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16323-1
01:27:26.288 --> 01:27:30.500
is actually in the what we
identified waste stream and that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16323-2
01:27:30.500 --> 01:27:32.886
was just gonna ask that
question.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16325-0
01:27:32.976 --> 01:27:33.586
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16347-0
01:27:33.596 --> 01:27:36.473
So for us, it's like, what's so,
what do you mean by waste and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16347-1
01:27:36.473 --> 01:27:37.706
the waste characterization?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16357-0
01:27:37.746 --> 01:27:38.826
Well, so it's gonna be for us.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16365-0
01:27:38.836 --> 01:27:39.986
It's like what is actually
being.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16388-0
01:27:40.456 --> 01:27:43.999
What is the material that's
being plant filled and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16388-1
01:27:43.999 --> 01:27:46.986
insinuated that we can move from
disposal?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16398-0
01:27:47.076 --> 01:27:49.336
I mean, I'm going to just say
Barbie cars.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16410-0
01:27:50.676 --> 01:27:54.306
You know what's the percentage
of Barbie cars in?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16437-0
01:27:54.996 --> 01:27:57.589
Is there the way skirt version
comes out says Oh my God,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16437-1
01:27:57.589 --> 01:28:00.546
everybody in Maine has all these
Barbie cars are getting rid of.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16448-0
01:28:00.736 --> 01:28:02.206
Is there a way we can recycle
them?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16453-0
01:28:02.436 --> 01:28:03.666
That's kind of that's.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16459-0
01:28:03.736 --> 01:28:05.676
That's a silly example.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16473-0
01:28:05.686 --> 01:28:08.646
For what I'm going to the Barbie
movie was so popular.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16483-0
01:28:08.656 --> 01:28:10.106
So you know that's that's right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16490-0
01:28:10.796 --> 01:28:11.616
Don't five years.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16498-0
01:28:11.626 --> 01:28:14.506
That might be an issue, but what
is the?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16516-0
01:28:14.736 --> 01:28:20.668
What is the, you know, what are
the materials in being disposed

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16516-1
01:28:20.668 --> 01:28:20.946
of?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16540-0
01:28:22.116 --> 01:28:27.955
That would be the low hanging
fruit for us to address and and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16540-1
01:28:27.955 --> 01:28:34.076
and divert from that disposal St
asphalt shingles access, right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16543-0
01:28:34.786 --> 01:28:36.876
Yep. Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16553-0
01:28:36.886 --> 01:28:38.646
So well, and and I would.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16563-0
01:28:39.406 --> 01:28:41.576
OK, I think that's a great
question.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16570-0
01:28:42.466 --> 01:28:43.936
And that question be modified
to?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16587-0
01:28:43.986 --> 01:28:47.108
I mean, does that mean you
don't, you know, you still have

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16587-1
01:28:47.108 --> 01:28:49.436
to look at the non laughing
through, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16593-0
01:28:49.446 --> 01:28:50.406
I do have to wait.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16617-0
01:28:50.416 --> 01:28:53.388
There are some things like, you
know that just not going to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16617-1
01:28:53.388 --> 01:28:54.726
going to just be a problem.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16623-0
01:28:54.736 --> 01:28:55.476
We're not gonna have it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16630-0
01:28:55.486 --> 01:28:58.236
Simply it's for like diapers,
right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16633-0
01:28:58.326 --> 01:28:59.316
Yeah, right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16652-0
01:28:59.326 --> 01:29:02.647
But there's other things, you
know, big and and I'm sure it's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16652-1
01:29:02.647 --> 01:29:03.986
going to be on your list.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16663-0
01:29:03.996 --> 01:29:08.021
It's probably we're talking
about, even fill filling up the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16663-1
01:29:08.021 --> 01:29:08.356
land.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16672-0
01:29:08.786 --> 01:29:10.666
Yeah, that's a that's been,
yeah, worse.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16695-0
01:29:10.676 --> 01:29:14.561
The sludge stuff, it's going
crazy, and that's what she was

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16695-1
01:29:14.561 --> 01:29:17.086
still going in, which is crazy,
right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16716-0
01:29:17.096 --> 01:29:19.749
Like that isn't the stations
that collect offs, asphalt

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16716-1
01:29:19.749 --> 01:29:22.166
shingles and they don't know
what to do with that?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16723-0
01:29:22.176 --> 01:29:23.176
I don't know what to tell them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16780-0
01:29:24.346 --> 01:29:28.357
I there's a, there's a there's a
financial component to that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16780-1
01:29:28.357 --> 01:29:32.237
testing you worked on on Greg
Sports viewers back and then

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16780-2
01:29:32.237 --> 01:29:36.314
that's not as much of a problem
as it used to because part of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16780-3
01:29:36.314 --> 01:29:40.391
focused on that and and came up
with you in the same with the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16780-4
01:29:40.391 --> 01:29:42.166
packaging and and so forth.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16799-0
01:29:42.936 --> 01:29:46.166
If you we made some progress,
but it's solved the problem.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16803-0
01:29:46.176 --> 01:29:47.156
Yet we've made some progress.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16808-0
01:29:48.476 --> 01:29:49.666
Ohh, something's like diapers.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16823-0
01:29:49.676 --> 01:29:54.231
I I wanna see something of this
cycle types, but anyway that's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16823-1
01:29:54.231 --> 01:29:55.316
the whole well.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16833-0
01:29:59.756 --> 01:30:01.986
Don't use the smoke and there's
other.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16864-0
01:30:02.156 --> 01:30:06.080
There's other items too called
items that we know is a problem,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16864-1
01:30:06.080 --> 01:30:09.820
but they're not like a a like
lithium batteries because they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16864-2
01:30:09.820 --> 01:30:10.556
get on fire.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16889-0
01:30:10.566 --> 01:30:14.589
That's a huge that is a huge
problem, and that's something

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16889-1
01:30:14.589 --> 01:30:17.726
that, you know, we'd like we
want to address.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16907-0
01:30:17.926 --> 01:30:22.371
And again, that's not like a big
percentage of the of the that's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16907-1
01:30:22.371 --> 01:30:24.286
like that's not yet not yet.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16948-0
01:30:24.296 --> 01:30:28.016
We see it could be an
exponential issue in five years

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16948-1
01:30:28.016 --> 01:30:31.943
because they're in these
electric cars start hitting the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16948-2
01:30:31.943 --> 01:30:36.490
roads and mass, you know, people
are gonna put that battery packs

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16948-3
01:30:36.490 --> 01:30:38.006
in the car, the trash.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16960-0
01:30:38.256 --> 01:30:41.406
It's gonna happen even though
there's value to them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16989-0
01:30:41.416 --> 01:30:44.320
And hopefully if there was a
better, if there was a forced

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16989-1
01:30:44.320 --> 01:30:47.372
takeback program, like with the
lead acid battery, that to me

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/16989-2
01:30:47.372 --> 01:30:48.406
makes a lot of sense.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17028-0
01:30:48.416 --> 01:30:51.675
But you have to get ahead of
that curve now, right along

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17028-1
01:30:51.675 --> 01:30:55.163
those lines in South Portland
made them promoting beneficial

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17028-2
01:30:55.163 --> 01:30:58.766
electrification and a big part
of that descend lawn equipment.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17041-0
01:30:59.226 --> 01:31:01.816
Umm, so those are rechargeable
batteries.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17059-0
01:31:01.826 --> 01:31:05.090
There is the rechargeable
battery stewardship program, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17059-1
01:31:05.090 --> 01:31:07.856
it doesn't apply to batteries
that are that size.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17097-0
01:31:08.706 --> 01:31:11.890
We also got a waste diversion
grant to do an electric tool

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17097-1
01:31:11.890 --> 01:31:14.750
library and it's new, so
everything's great now, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17097-2
01:31:14.750 --> 01:31:18.096
we're going to have to get rid
of those batteries eventually.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17106-0
01:31:18.346 --> 01:31:20.136
We talked to Calder recycle
about it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17122-0
01:31:20.146 --> 01:31:22.850
It seems like there's pretty
much no way to recycle those

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17122-1
01:31:22.850 --> 01:31:23.316
right now.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17146-0
01:31:23.826 --> 01:31:27.865
So if if the stewardship program
could be expanded to include

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17146-1
01:31:27.865 --> 01:31:30.536
larger batteries, that would be
amazing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17155-0
01:31:32.106 --> 01:31:33.896
Alien number Tati has something
to happen.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17191-0
01:31:35.866 --> 01:31:40.157
I don't wanna pull us too far
off track, but you mentioned the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17191-1
01:31:40.157 --> 01:31:44.652
reuse Center for lawn equipment,
which I've heard is going really

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17191-2
01:31:44.652 --> 01:31:47.376
well and I was wondering, is
that true?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17209-0
01:31:47.386 --> 01:31:52.211
And if it is true, do you see
opportunities for that to expand

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17209-1
01:31:52.211 --> 01:31:54.356
either by moving into other?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17218-0
01:31:55.726 --> 01:31:58.516
Items or for it to expand?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17235-0
01:31:58.526 --> 01:32:01.525
Do you think it's something
that's would work for other

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17232-0
01:32:00.056 --> 01:32:00.306
And this.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17235-1
01:32:01.525 --> 01:32:01.846
towns?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17242-0
01:32:03.816 --> 01:32:05.406
Yeah, it's been going very well.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17283-0
01:32:05.416 --> 01:32:09.111
It's an extremely popular the
downside is that most equipment

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17283-1
01:32:09.111 --> 01:32:12.806
is out all the time and people
feel frustrated that when they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17283-2
01:32:12.806 --> 01:32:15.786
show up, they can't take the
tool of they wanted.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17297-0
01:32:15.976 --> 01:32:18.640
They just started a wait list
system, but we'll see how it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17297-1
01:32:18.640 --> 01:32:18.866
goes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17316-0
01:32:19.696 --> 01:32:22.627
I have had several other
communities reach out to me

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17316-1
01:32:22.627 --> 01:32:24.396
about doing something like that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17335-0
01:32:24.516 --> 01:32:27.727
It's been more from like
community organizations than the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17335-1
01:32:27.727 --> 01:32:29.166
municipalities themselves.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17348-0
01:32:29.516 --> 01:32:33.525
I think it's very replicable and
something that should be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17348-1
01:32:33.525 --> 01:32:34.216
encourage.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17359-0
01:32:34.526 --> 01:32:38.216
We would love to expand, but we
would need more funding.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17390-0
01:32:38.306 --> 01:32:42.673
We have a very small shed which
is maybe short sighted, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17390-1
01:32:42.673 --> 01:32:47.331
yeah, we've we've gotten request
for other equipment, just more

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17390-2
01:32:47.331 --> 01:32:48.496
of what we have.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17409-0
01:32:48.616 --> 01:32:51.872
Aerators have been a big thing
that people have brought up,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17409-1
01:32:51.872 --> 01:32:54.206
didn't know thorough electric
air readers.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17422-0
01:32:54.216 --> 01:32:58.486
But umm, but it's something that
we're we're thinking about.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17474-0
01:32:58.496 --> 01:33:03.072
But so far it's going well and
this the the you don't you think

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17474-1
01:33:03.072 --> 01:33:07.363
you see a point where that it's
it's a lending or is it the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17474-2
01:33:07.363 --> 01:33:11.939
renting thing it's a lending so
you just need an active library

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17474-3
01:33:11.939 --> 01:33:14.656
card in order to check out
equipment.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17480-0
01:33:14.746 --> 01:33:15.796
Check it out for a week.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17510-0
01:33:16.146 --> 01:33:19.372
So that's that's probably the
bigger problem is that funding

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17510-1
01:33:19.372 --> 01:33:22.438
for the program you could buy
twice the the the amount of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17510-2
01:33:22.438 --> 01:33:23.496
stuff that you have.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17521-0
01:33:23.846 --> 01:33:28.286
But really, the problem is
funding difficult.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17533-0
01:33:28.336 --> 01:33:30.626
But like you said, the scenario
is we don't worry about it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17535-0
01:33:30.636 --> 01:33:31.856
So yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17538-0
01:33:34.486 --> 01:33:34.946
Period.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17542-0
01:33:34.956 --> 01:33:35.716
But like how?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17563-0
01:33:35.766 --> 01:33:39.351
How much and funding are you are
you talking about that would

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17563-1
01:33:39.351 --> 01:33:41.086
like help you meet your needs.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17570-0
01:33:41.096 --> 01:33:41.976
Like, do you know?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17607-0
01:33:42.066 --> 01:33:45.677
I mean, it depends how big you'd
wanna go or initial Grant was a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17607-1
01:33:45.677 --> 01:33:49.121
little over $16,000, which was
the shed, the electric, all of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17607-2
01:33:49.121 --> 01:33:49.676
the tools.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17636-0
01:33:51.366 --> 01:33:55.446
So we wouldn't need that much to
get more in terms of tools, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17636-1
01:33:55.446 --> 01:33:59.086
then the grant the grants kept
out of 40,000 application.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17646-0
01:33:59.126 --> 01:34:01.746
But I mean we get that's the
maximum.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17675-0
01:34:01.756 --> 01:34:05.451
So we got like 100 to 125 per
grant round two rounds a year,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17675-1
01:34:05.451 --> 01:34:07.086
one in spring one and fall.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17708-0
01:34:07.316 --> 01:34:11.338
So we're very thoughtful about
the 14K grants applications when

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17708-1
01:34:11.338 --> 01:34:15.046
they come in, but seems like
money well spent in this case

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17708-2
01:34:15.046 --> 01:34:16.806
for that is going very well.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17710-0
01:34:16.816 --> 01:34:19.176
Yeah, right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17714-0
01:34:19.756 --> 01:34:20.276
Just curious.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17726-0
01:34:23.986 --> 01:34:25.596
So can I follow up one question
on that?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17730-0
01:34:24.306 --> 01:34:24.456
So.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17734-0
01:34:25.606 --> 01:34:27.116
Do you have information on?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17749-0
01:34:27.526 --> 01:34:30.309
I guess it's probably resource
intensive, but do you have

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17749-1
01:34:30.309 --> 01:34:32.036
information on like how it's
going?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17768-0
01:34:32.046 --> 01:34:35.075
Any numbers or anything like on
a website that other entities

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17810-0
01:34:34.906 --> 01:34:38.926
That he umm, we don't at the
moment, but we get information

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17768-1
01:34:35.075 --> 01:34:35.466
can see.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17810-1
01:34:38.926 --> 01:34:42.679
from the library at the end of
the month about how many

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17810-2
01:34:42.679 --> 01:34:47.034
checkouts there were and we have
people have to sign a liability

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17810-3
01:34:47.034 --> 01:34:49.446
waiver when we check out
equipment.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17819-0
01:34:49.456 --> 01:34:52.536
So we do know how many people
have checked out equipment.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17832-0
01:34:56.436 --> 01:34:57.656
Maybe a good case study too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17866-0
01:34:57.666 --> 01:35:01.719
When you submit like your final
report to to showcase it in such

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17866-1
01:35:01.719 --> 01:35:05.461
a way that other entities are
interested, communities could

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17866-2
01:35:05.461 --> 01:35:07.706
easily see this is how you do
this.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17872-0
01:35:08.056 --> 01:35:10.516
Yeah, that sounds great.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17887-0
01:35:13.396 --> 01:35:16.726
Umm, that makes me think of
repair cafes in general.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17904-0
01:35:16.736 --> 01:35:19.250
So that's another thing that
we've seen kind of picking up

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17904-1
01:35:19.250 --> 01:35:19.506
steam.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17910-0
01:35:20.116 --> 01:35:21.306
Vanessa, I don't know if you
want to.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17926-0
01:35:21.316 --> 01:35:24.016
Do you want to talk about that a
little bit or you don't want?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17930-0
01:35:24.026 --> 01:35:25.486
You don't mean? I'm not.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17940-0
01:35:25.536 --> 01:35:28.186
I'm not in it, but I'm
connected.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17953-0
01:35:28.196 --> 01:35:32.537
So, I mean, there's definitely
growing interest in repair

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17953-1
01:35:32.537 --> 01:35:32.986
cafes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17968-0
01:35:33.916 --> 01:35:37.252
There are, there are growing
number of them kind of popping

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17968-1
01:35:37.252 --> 01:35:38.586
up throughout the state.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17982-0
01:35:38.596 --> 01:35:41.306
I know there's one in Brunswick
that operates out of the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/17982-1
01:35:41.306 --> 01:35:41.686
library.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18003-0
01:35:41.776 --> 01:35:45.414
They take turns with Bath to
host it, so it's like another

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18003-1
01:35:45.414 --> 01:35:47.326
regional kind of collaboration.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18015-0
01:35:47.626 --> 01:35:50.886
There's also one here in
Southern Maine that's operating.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18031-0
01:35:51.846 --> 01:35:55.179
And I think at their first event
they said something about like,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18031-1
01:35:55.179 --> 01:35:55.846
75 pounds of.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18047-0
01:35:56.536 --> 01:36:00.006
Material kind of kept in
circulation versus the waste

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18047-1
01:36:00.006 --> 01:36:00.456
stream.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18076-0
01:36:00.466 --> 01:36:05.716
So first event pretty successful
I I think there is probably a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18076-1
01:36:05.716 --> 01:36:10.883
good a good need for more like
collaboration between them and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18076-2
01:36:10.883 --> 01:36:12.716
like more interaction.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18097-0
01:36:12.826 --> 01:36:16.279
I've mentioned this to Megan
before, so I feel comfortable

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18097-1
01:36:16.279 --> 01:36:19.146
during the again, but we're
talking about, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18157-0
01:36:19.156 --> 01:36:21.989
So I think that there are
because they're recruiting

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18157-1
01:36:21.989 --> 01:36:25.143
volunteers and I think being
able to like share strategies

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18157-2
01:36:25.143 --> 01:36:28.243
would be really helpful, but
also just promoting the work

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18157-3
01:36:28.243 --> 01:36:31.290
that they're all doing and
trying to like share this out

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18157-4
01:36:31.290 --> 01:36:34.764
wider to get more participation
from the public I think would be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18157-5
01:36:34.764 --> 01:36:35.566
really helpful.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18170-0
01:36:36.006 --> 01:36:38.026
And then I think avenues for
funding.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18214-0
01:36:38.036 --> 01:36:41.362
One thing that I've heard from
some of those folks is that like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18214-1
01:36:41.362 --> 01:36:44.168
they have to invest in the
parks, they have volunteer

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18214-2
01:36:44.168 --> 01:36:47.337
manpower to, you know, men and
women power to to do the work

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18214-3
01:36:47.337 --> 01:36:49.156
that's needed to make the
repairs.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18255-0
01:36:49.396 --> 01:36:53.523
But in terms of getting the
parts, the replacement pieces,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18255-1
01:36:53.523 --> 01:36:58.140
you know, some repair cafes I've
heard across the country that do

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18255-2
01:36:58.140 --> 01:37:02.266
like 3D printing to replace
small component parts that are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18255-3
01:37:02.266 --> 01:37:02.966
necessary.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18288-0
01:37:03.636 --> 01:37:07.394
So those are investments that I
think a lot of volunteer

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18288-1
01:37:07.394 --> 01:37:11.481
grassroots groups are unable to
do right in the moment unless

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18288-2
01:37:11.481 --> 01:37:14.646
they're soliciting donations
from from patrons.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18312-0
01:37:14.656 --> 01:37:18.672
But yeah, I I think that
investing and more, you know,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18312-1
01:37:18.672 --> 01:37:22.762
facilitating collaboration
between them would be really

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18312-2
01:37:22.762 --> 01:37:23.346
helpful.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18329-0
01:37:24.806 --> 01:37:27.308
And I welcome if and there's
someone else that wants to share

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18329-1
01:37:27.308 --> 01:37:28.196
about this, please do.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18363-0
01:37:30.356 --> 01:37:34.401
I think that the parts thing is
because it means in the dark to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18363-1
01:37:34.401 --> 01:37:38.257
do a lot of repairs, you gotta
get the part needed trying to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18363-2
01:37:38.257 --> 01:37:40.216
find parts is can be difficult.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18377-0
01:37:40.226 --> 01:37:42.936
So and some people just show up
off the street with.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18383-0
01:37:42.986 --> 01:37:44.076
Here's my busted lamp.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18406-0
01:37:44.126 --> 01:37:46.621
And you know, you don't know
what parts you need until you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18406-1
01:37:46.621 --> 01:37:47.636
have it in front of you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18409-0
01:37:47.726 --> 01:37:48.216
Right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18414-0
01:37:48.226 --> 01:37:49.646
So that can be really
challenging.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18480-0
01:37:49.656 --> 01:37:52.766
Yeah, I think some of the bigger
groups like out in California

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18480-1
01:37:52.766 --> 01:37:55.729
have, they will actually have
some of the businesses comes,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18480-2
01:37:55.729 --> 01:37:58.839
there might be somebody from a
hardware store or somebody from

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18480-3
01:37:58.839 --> 01:38:01.752
bike shop or electrician,
somebody with some of that stuff

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18480-4
01:38:01.752 --> 01:38:04.665
already in hand and they sell
them, they don't, they don't

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18480-5
01:38:04.665 --> 01:38:05.406
give them away.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18497-0
01:38:05.416 --> 01:38:07.849
So they're it's also good for
the business because then they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18497-1
01:38:07.849 --> 01:38:08.926
make a little bit of money.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18518-0
01:38:09.226 --> 01:38:11.859
Yeah, and it gives them a good
presence and they can come and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18518-1
01:38:11.859 --> 01:38:12.496
lend expertise.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18526-0
01:38:12.506 --> 01:38:14.166
But you know, it really vary.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18535-0
01:38:14.176 --> 01:38:17.966
Some of them are very, you know,
just know how to.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18549-0
01:38:17.976 --> 01:38:20.766
I just know how to fix a lamp
when it's not working.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18646-0
01:38:21.036 --> 01:38:24.567
Yeah, I feel those like skill
sharing is also really cool

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18646-1
01:38:24.567 --> 01:38:27.976
cause that could be some
information and transfer right

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18646-2
01:38:27.976 --> 01:38:31.386
and like also I am not
proficient in repair and mending

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18646-3
01:38:31.386 --> 01:38:35.221
my own clothes, but to like go
and like bring something that's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18646-4
01:38:35.221 --> 01:38:38.692
broken and sit down with
somebody who knows how to do it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18646-5
01:38:38.692 --> 01:38:42.223
and be able to like I'm learning
something but then I can

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18646-6
01:38:42.223 --> 01:38:45.997
replicate to my own home and
keep things useful longer versus

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18646-7
01:38:45.997 --> 01:38:49.346
have you know I write my sweater
and it's irreparable.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18653-0
01:38:49.356 --> 01:38:50.576
Someone throw that in the trash.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18655-0
01:38:51.146 --> 01:38:51.816
Yeah, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18663-0
01:38:51.826 --> 01:38:52.826
Or put it in a textile.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18665-0
01:38:52.836 --> 01:38:55.436
Recycling, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18690-0
01:38:57.696 --> 01:39:00.244
And there's a lot of potential
there for, you know, just

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18690-1
01:39:00.244 --> 01:39:03.016
reducing consumption of stuff
and keeping stuff out of waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18692-0
01:39:03.026 --> 01:39:03.506
Ravens.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18697-0
01:39:04.476 --> 01:39:07.146
Last longer, yeah, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18765-0
01:39:09.896 --> 01:39:12.676
You know, without like
addressing the big capitalism of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18765-1
01:39:12.676 --> 01:39:15.655
it all, I think that's a big
problem with the way stream is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18765-2
01:39:15.655 --> 01:39:18.882
that things feel more disposable
now than they ever used to mean

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18765-3
01:39:18.882 --> 01:39:21.910
you talk to somebody from the
depression era and it's a very

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18765-4
01:39:21.910 --> 01:39:24.938
different lived experience and
conservation of resources and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18765-5
01:39:24.938 --> 01:39:26.626
not buying things you don't
need.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18830-0
01:39:26.676 --> 01:39:30.195
I think it's that's going to
require a much larger cultural

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18830-1
01:39:30.195 --> 01:39:33.949
shift in consumer behaviors, but
also hope businesses market to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18830-2
01:39:33.949 --> 01:39:37.409
consumers and like, you know,
getting something pink, just

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18830-3
01:39:37.409 --> 01:39:40.870
because Barbie came out as a
movie, you know, not the most

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18830-4
01:39:40.870 --> 01:39:44.624
sustainable way to to practice
living your life but not reading

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18830-5
01:39:44.624 --> 01:39:46.266
your iPhone every two years.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18833-0
01:39:46.276 --> 01:39:46.936
Right, exactly.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18842-0
01:39:46.946 --> 01:39:49.416
And so there's perceived, but
there's planned obsolescence.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18866-0
01:39:49.426 --> 01:39:52.584
So I think there's addressing
some of those challenges is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18866-1
01:39:52.584 --> 01:39:56.068
really difficult because it gets
at the heart of human behavior

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18866-2
01:39:56.068 --> 01:39:56.286
too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18875-0
01:40:00.466 --> 01:40:01.556
I've also there's also.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18932-0
01:40:01.566 --> 01:40:05.680
I mean, this is really, I think,
just the Portland, but more

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18932-1
01:40:05.680 --> 01:40:09.861
interesting kind of reusables
and the University of Maine LED

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18932-2
01:40:09.861 --> 01:40:13.637
a study a couple years back that
ultimately resulted in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18932-3
01:40:13.637 --> 01:40:17.953
Department of Health and Human
Services updating the food codes

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18932-4
01:40:17.953 --> 01:40:21.797
to allow for reuse for food
service businesses, which is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18932-5
01:40:21.797 --> 01:40:22.876
pretty exciting.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18936-0
01:40:22.886 --> 01:40:23.876
It's still limited.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18992-0
01:40:23.886 --> 01:40:26.442
So you can't bring your
Tupperware from home and have it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18992-1
01:40:26.442 --> 01:40:29.088
filled it a restaurant, but the
restaurant can provide you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18992-2
01:40:29.088 --> 01:40:31.868
something sterile or, you know,
trade out if if you if it's a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18992-3
01:40:31.868 --> 01:40:34.649
place where you go all the time
for lunch, you can bring your

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18992-4
01:40:34.649 --> 01:40:36.846
container and then give you a
clean replacement.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/18996-0
01:40:37.736 --> 01:40:38.586
So they have.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19048-0
01:40:38.696 --> 01:40:41.661
They've done a lot of work on
that and it seems like that's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19048-1
01:40:41.661 --> 01:40:44.477
another huge opportunity to
reduce some of these kind of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19048-2
01:40:44.477 --> 01:40:47.245
everyday things that are, you
know, they're just trash,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19048-3
01:40:47.245 --> 01:40:50.111
they're made to be trash and
it's something that we could

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19048-4
01:40:50.111 --> 01:40:52.186
easily replace with something
refillable.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19064-0
01:40:52.256 --> 01:40:55.964
But we need the infrastructure
to support it and kind of again

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19064-1
01:40:55.964 --> 01:40:57.376
that's a mindset change.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19073-0
01:40:57.386 --> 01:41:00.146
It's, you know, changing the way
we do things.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19102-0
01:41:00.156 --> 01:41:03.347
So it's a bigger and harder
shift than just making something

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19102-1
01:41:03.347 --> 01:41:06.486
recyclable, but it's a good long
time thing to think about.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19143-0
01:41:07.796 --> 01:41:12.237
So on the reuse and and like
changing codes, I know that you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19143-1
01:41:12.237 --> 01:41:17.042
know not every person here is in
healthcare, but like health care

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19143-2
01:41:17.042 --> 01:41:20.246
is pretty big and it's pretty
big in Maine.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19159-0
01:41:20.256 --> 01:41:26.113
And we have so much single use
everything first to reality

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19159-1
01:41:26.113 --> 01:41:27.006
purposes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19188-0
01:41:27.316 --> 01:41:32.588
But there has been talk with
some of our accrediting agencies

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19188-1
01:41:32.588 --> 01:41:37.435
in the healthcare space around
like reviewing those like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19188-2
01:41:37.435 --> 01:41:39.306
relaxing some of them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19222-0
01:41:40.966 --> 01:41:45.773
And I mean from a waste
perspective, I think in bed

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19222-1
01:41:45.773 --> 01:41:51.690
generated like 100 and something
tons of weight, it's just it's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19222-2
01:41:51.690 --> 01:41:55.296
such a high waste production
industry.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19263-0
01:41:55.786 --> 01:42:01.179
So any like opportunities you
have again 8 or legislative

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19263-1
01:42:01.179 --> 01:42:06.943
level to promote that aspect
would be helpful for health care

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19263-2
01:42:06.943 --> 01:42:12.708
industry and do you know Deborah
Saber from the University of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19263-3
01:42:12.708 --> 01:42:13.266
Maine?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19269-0
01:42:13.696 --> 01:42:14.246
I don't.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19283-0
01:42:14.816 --> 01:42:17.600
She actually she should be a
good person for you to talk to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19283-1
01:42:17.600 --> 01:42:17.786
you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19292-0
01:42:17.796 --> 01:42:19.586
She's she's a researcher and she
focuses.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19307-0
01:42:19.596 --> 01:42:23.046
She's a nurse, but she focuses a
lot on medical waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19344-0
01:42:23.956 --> 01:42:27.036
So she might be good for you to
talk to you and just also just

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19344-1
01:42:27.036 --> 01:42:29.872
get some ideas, because I know
we're not as familiar with

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19344-2
01:42:29.872 --> 01:42:31.436
what's generated and what could.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19374-0
01:42:31.476 --> 01:42:34.392
What could be, you know, cut out
or replaced with something

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19374-1
01:42:34.392 --> 01:42:37.600
reusable, but I know she knows a
lot about that, but she's looked

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19374-2
01:42:37.600 --> 01:42:37.746
at.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19418-0
01:42:38.826 --> 01:42:41.619
I forget the word for it, but
basically an isolated isolation

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19418-1
01:42:41.619 --> 01:42:44.232
room where somebody is in, you
know, very poor health and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19418-2
01:42:44.232 --> 01:42:46.755
people are they have to
basically throw everything away

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19418-3
01:42:46.755 --> 01:42:48.016
as soon as they go in there.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19441-0
01:42:48.026 --> 01:42:50.776
And she's looked at the
potential for just do you really

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19441-1
01:42:50.776 --> 01:42:53.816
need to throw it away, or can
you just put something clean on?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19445-0
01:42:53.826 --> 01:42:56.136
And so she has.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19472-0
01:42:56.386 --> 01:42:59.354
She has some good numbers on
that on the feasibility of that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19472-1
01:42:59.354 --> 01:43:02.371
and how it doesn't really matter
in terms of contamination or

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19472-2
01:43:02.371 --> 01:43:03.296
germs being spread.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19488-0
01:43:03.306 --> 01:43:07.746
So yes, I think if you were you
were on the grant.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19507-0
01:43:07.756 --> 01:43:11.728
So I think that I probably have
your email anyway, but Jackie

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19507-1
01:43:11.728 --> 01:43:13.266
Elliott has her comment.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19510-0
01:43:15.146 --> 01:43:15.816
You.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19515-0
01:43:15.906 --> 01:43:17.806
I'm so glad to hear.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19527-0
01:43:18.746 --> 01:43:23.906
Healthcare realm being brought
into the conversation here.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19540-0
01:43:24.456 --> 01:43:28.126
Umm, I'm not sure who it was
that just spoke.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19537-0
01:43:24.466 --> 01:43:24.786
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19566-0
01:43:28.336 --> 01:43:33.545
I'm not certain, but you might
want to acquaint yourself with

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19566-1
01:43:33.545 --> 01:43:37.746
an organization known as
healthcare without harm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19613-0
01:43:37.756 --> 01:43:43.126
If you're not familiar with them
already, years ago I was

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19613-1
01:43:43.126 --> 01:43:48.681
involved on a national level
working with this group with a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19613-2
01:43:48.681 --> 01:43:54.329
focus of reducing the harm in
health care to patients, which

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19613-3
01:43:54.329 --> 01:43:58.866
had a focus on toxic aspects of
products to use.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19660-0
01:43:59.176 --> 01:44:03.542
But obviously the mass
generation of waste I I do have

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19660-1
01:44:03.542 --> 01:44:08.385
a healthcare background that
goes back to the dark ages when

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19645-0
01:44:07.916 --> 01:44:08.096
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19660-2
01:44:08.385 --> 01:44:12.751
our solutions were in glass
bottles and our tools were

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19652-0
01:44:11.396 --> 01:44:11.576
Right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19660-3
01:44:12.751 --> 01:44:15.926
cleaned and sterilized enough to
clean.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19685-0
01:44:16.136 --> 01:44:20.477
So it's it's a little different
approach today, but it it's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19685-1
01:44:20.477 --> 01:44:24.456
definitely a sector that needs
some serious attention.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19698-0
01:44:24.466 --> 01:44:28.216
So you might want to poke around
healthcare without harm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19706-0
01:44:28.226 --> 01:44:31.566
That might help you find some
assistance.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19712-0
01:44:33.696 --> 01:44:34.726
Thank you very much.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19720-0
01:44:34.736 --> 01:44:38.356
Yeah, I work with them, so
appreciate it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19734-0
01:44:49.226 --> 01:44:52.196
Well, I pulled up the next piece
on our list.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19764-0
01:44:52.206 --> 01:44:56.116
Just talking about our statutory
goals, we have goals to both

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19764-1
01:44:56.116 --> 01:44:59.836
decrease how much we throw away
and to recycle or compost.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19774-0
01:45:00.066 --> 01:45:03.536
50% of the waste that we
generate every year, uh.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19812-0
01:45:03.546 --> 01:45:07.104
So towns don't have to meet
these goals as a state statewide

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19812-1
01:45:07.104 --> 01:45:10.546
goal on an individual basis, but
they are required to show

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19812-2
01:45:10.546 --> 01:45:12.646
progress as the statute is
written.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19826-0
01:45:13.396 --> 01:45:16.236
Umm, so we're hearing we we are
working right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19880-0
01:45:16.246 --> 01:45:20.017
We've been working on our
municipal recycling reports,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19880-1
01:45:20.017 --> 01:45:23.787
which are collected over two
years, and there's a huge

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19880-2
01:45:23.787 --> 01:45:27.695
variation in the level of
services that are available or

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19880-3
01:45:27.695 --> 01:45:31.740
provided to finance where our
community is the budget with

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19880-4
01:45:31.740 --> 01:45:35.716
staff, whether they even have
any kind of program at all.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19882-0
01:45:36.316 --> 01:45:36.896
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19895-0
01:45:37.356 --> 01:45:39.316
And you know, this is the
Southern main meeting.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19914-0
01:45:39.326 --> 01:45:42.099
So there's not a lot of people
from many rural communities here

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19914-1
01:45:42.099 --> 01:45:43.486
except like you can speak to it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19944-0
01:45:43.756 --> 01:45:47.112
So we're trying to gather more
information on what are the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19944-1
01:45:47.112 --> 01:45:50.467
needs that are impediments to
towns for helping to achieve

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19944-2
01:45:50.467 --> 01:45:51.036
this goal.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19967-0
01:45:52.526 --> 01:45:55.364
Have communities tried to
increase recycling rates and if

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19967-1
01:45:55.364 --> 01:45:58.006
so, what what did they try and
what were the results?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19996-0
01:45:58.016 --> 01:46:00.784
We're just trying to gather
information on what's what's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19996-1
01:46:00.784 --> 01:46:03.698
been successful, what hasn't
been more, what are the needs,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/19996-2
01:46:03.698 --> 01:46:05.786
especially in areas like your
communities.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20012-0
01:46:07.406 --> 01:46:10.849
Umm well, when you were talking
about funding early, I think

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20012-1
01:46:10.849 --> 01:46:11.696
centralization.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20054-0
01:46:12.126 --> 01:46:16.913
Yeah, like you know, our plan is
designed to take these recycles

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20054-1
01:46:16.913 --> 01:46:21.332
out of the waste stream, but
also make other reuse products

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20054-2
01:46:21.332 --> 01:46:25.456
like gas and looking at fuel and
those types of things.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20115-0
01:46:25.866 --> 01:46:29.672
But you know, we've always had
the Members that have the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20115-1
01:46:29.672 --> 01:46:33.878
transfer stations that want to
do their own cardboard and want

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20115-2
01:46:33.878 --> 01:46:37.884
to do their own paper and or
we're doing their own plastics

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20115-3
01:46:37.884 --> 01:46:41.890
and one they just like like he
Co main said, you know, they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20115-4
01:46:41.890 --> 01:46:43.426
can't produce 32 bails.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20146-0
01:46:43.436 --> 01:46:47.307
The truckload paper they can
produce three or four and it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20146-1
01:46:47.307 --> 01:46:51.444
cost them $90.00 to do so, and
that includes somebody to come

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20146-2
01:46:51.444 --> 01:46:53.446
and get them and recycle them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20151-0
01:46:53.516 --> 01:46:54.006
So.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20179-0
01:46:54.066 --> 01:46:56.713
So they want to do the the right
thing, but but sometimes it's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20179-1
01:46:56.713 --> 01:46:59.066
it's causing them to go and rent
to do the right thing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20192-0
01:46:59.816 --> 01:47:03.626
Where in the recycling business
volume speaks works?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20234-0
01:47:03.636 --> 01:47:06.717
If you can secure your own
contract with the bill or with

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20234-1
01:47:06.717 --> 01:47:09.693
plastics or be grinding
plastics, you know, even though

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20234-2
01:47:09.693 --> 01:47:12.987
the markets go up and down, you
don't have problems uploading

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20234-3
01:47:12.987 --> 01:47:13.146
it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20277-0
01:47:13.296 --> 01:47:17.748
If you have polling, if you're a
constant supplier to the recipe,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20277-1
01:47:17.748 --> 01:47:21.729
so you know, like I said, our
facility is designed to umm,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20277-2
01:47:21.729 --> 01:47:25.304
deal with the regular
commodities, but takes so much

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20277-3
01:47:25.304 --> 01:47:26.316
more out of it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20319-0
01:47:26.546 --> 01:47:30.004
And I think that if we could
help our Members with the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20319-1
01:47:30.004 --> 01:47:33.398
centralization, with the
transportation of of getting

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20319-2
01:47:33.398 --> 01:47:37.484
things to the facility, I think
it would be a big help because I

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20319-3
01:47:37.484 --> 01:47:39.496
know the markets go up and down.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20331-0
01:47:39.686 --> 01:47:42.416
But like I said, I'm not
concerned with the markets.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20334-0
01:47:43.736 --> 01:47:45.466
When you have bought. Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20342-0
01:47:45.536 --> 01:47:47.006
And and you're not sensible
there.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20374-0
01:47:47.396 --> 01:47:50.435
So I I just think a lot of them
have put in the predicament

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20374-1
01:47:50.435 --> 01:47:53.676
where that are still trying to
recycle and keep their stuff out

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20374-2
01:47:53.676 --> 01:47:54.486
of waste stream.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20383-0
01:47:54.676 --> 01:47:56.066
It's just cost some fortune.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20404-0
01:47:56.076 --> 01:47:59.376
I mean, they used to put it in
there budgets as a positive, as

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20404-1
01:47:59.376 --> 01:48:00.266
a revenue stream.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20413-0
01:48:00.276 --> 01:48:02.256
It hasn't been revenue stream
for them for a long time.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20419-0
01:48:04.486 --> 01:48:05.246
A linear on.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20422-0
01:48:07.406 --> 01:48:08.316
Hi Mike.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20442-0
01:48:08.326 --> 01:48:10.159
I just wanna make sure I
understood that cause it sounds

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20442-1
01:48:10.159 --> 01:48:11.156
like an interesting idea to me.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20448-0
01:48:11.166 --> 01:48:14.436
Are you suggesting that MRC?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20486-0
01:48:15.106 --> 01:48:19.337
Sorry, I'm sure I'm getting the
name wrong that the the new

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20469-0
01:48:18.986 --> 01:48:21.326
Yeah, this.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20486-1
01:48:19.337 --> 01:48:23.638
facility will be excepting a
source separated materials from

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20486-2
01:48:23.638 --> 01:48:27.516
its member communities and sort
of brokering for them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20497-0
01:48:28.966 --> 01:48:34.756
So the current contracts that we
it it does say that?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20601-0
01:48:35.706 --> 01:48:40.163
MWS Municipal Waste Solutions
passed to honor of recycling

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20601-1
01:48:40.163 --> 01:48:44.923
contract so so that is in in in
the agreements and yes that is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20601-2
01:48:44.923 --> 01:48:49.607
one of the the visions that you
know if we can sign 3000 tons

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20601-3
01:48:49.607 --> 01:48:54.064
with a a A firm like cascade or
somebody like that and our

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20601-4
01:48:54.064 --> 01:48:58.597
Members are trying to recycle an
additional between the 115

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20601-5
01:48:58.597 --> 01:49:02.903
communities another 2000 tons
and we'd like to pool that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20601-6
01:49:02.903 --> 01:49:07.512
tonnage in centralized that and
then create that that supply

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20601-7
01:49:07.512 --> 01:49:10.836
contract through the one
facility with our.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20622-0
01:49:14.286 --> 01:49:16.536
The hub and spoke is what I
always think of.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20619-0
01:49:15.976 --> 01:49:16.786
Interesting.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20624-0
01:49:17.136 --> 01:49:17.496
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20625-0
01:49:17.296 --> 01:49:19.636
Like thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20651-0
01:49:21.716 --> 01:49:24.860
And I think again, that's the
packaging program will

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20651-1
01:49:24.860 --> 01:49:28.419
ultimately have funding for
building out infrastructure for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20651-2
01:49:28.419 --> 01:49:29.546
that kind of thing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20661-0
01:49:29.556 --> 01:49:34.491
So yeah, I mean it's part of
that will be this works right

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20661-1
01:49:34.491 --> 01:49:34.826
now.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20724-0
01:49:34.836 --> 01:49:39.626
So I don't changes, some of them
are, which is pretty exciting to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20724-1
01:49:39.626 --> 01:49:44.344
be made to include system, will
they be interviewed sciences and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20724-2
01:49:44.344 --> 01:49:48.698
packaging question, but will
they be going to entities like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20724-3
01:49:48.698 --> 01:49:53.198
will they be talking to Mike and
becoming and finding out yes

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20724-4
01:49:53.198 --> 01:49:55.956
about their OK their reporting,
yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20728-0
01:49:56.066 --> 01:49:58.716
Yeah, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20739-0
01:49:59.626 --> 01:49:59.956
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20741-0
01:50:01.926 --> 01:50:02.126
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20744-0
01:50:03.036 --> 01:50:04.016
So yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20755-0
01:50:07.876 --> 01:50:09.486
You know, it's first thing is so
long hours.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20758-0
01:50:09.816 --> 01:50:10.786
But it is happening.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20761-0
01:50:10.796 --> 01:50:12.806
It's yeah, just takes time.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20767-0
01:50:13.076 --> 01:50:13.816
Thank you for coming.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20780-0
01:50:13.956 --> 01:50:22.016
You guys so much it's different
size municipality.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20810-0
01:50:22.786 --> 01:50:26.361
So in South Portland's we are a
bigger city and we have more

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20810-1
01:50:26.361 --> 01:50:29.408
funding than a lot of
communities and our recycling

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20810-2
01:50:29.408 --> 01:50:30.756
rate is still terrible.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20812-0
01:50:30.766 --> 01:50:31.146
Terrible.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20823-0
01:50:33.136 --> 01:50:36.116
And we've done a lot in terms of
outreach and education.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20829-0
01:50:36.166 --> 01:50:37.656
We've worked with domain a lot.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20833-0
01:50:38.156 --> 01:50:38.726
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20860-0
01:50:39.176 --> 01:50:42.904
And it's really just keeping
things the same like Eldritch

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20860-1
01:50:42.904 --> 01:50:46.947
notification has not been enough
for us, and we are considering

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20860-2
01:50:46.947 --> 01:50:47.516
our case.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20895-0
01:50:47.526 --> 01:50:51.658
You throw program and we spoke
to many other communities that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20895-1
01:50:51.658 --> 01:50:55.723
do have such program and they're
recycling rates are so much

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20895-2
01:50:55.723 --> 01:50:56.856
better than ours.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20917-0
01:50:56.916 --> 01:51:02.019
It seems like that is a huge
program that can increase your

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20917-1
01:51:02.019 --> 01:51:05.336
cycling rates and reduce trash
output.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20936-0
01:51:05.346 --> 01:51:08.334
So while we're not doing that,
it seems like that would be a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20936-1
01:51:08.334 --> 01:51:09.656
huge thing that would help.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20987-0
01:51:10.146 --> 01:51:14.066
I've also heard from many
communities in southern Maine

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20987-1
01:51:14.066 --> 01:51:18.266
that while they have manual
trash collection at the moment,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20987-2
01:51:18.266 --> 01:51:22.676
big Hauler around is is asking
everyone to switch to automated

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/20987-3
01:51:22.676 --> 01:51:26.666
or they're not going to offer
manual collection anymore.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21008-0
01:51:26.736 --> 01:51:29.883
And a lot of the pays you
through programs in all of me

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21008-1
01:51:29.883 --> 01:51:31.906
and are based on manual
collection.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21031-0
01:51:31.946 --> 01:51:35.823
It's supposed to tags, so
looking for a PSU through option

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21031-1
01:51:35.823 --> 01:51:38.846
that is compatible with
automated collection.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21055-0
01:51:38.956 --> 01:51:42.964
I think it's going to be huge
and Spears, I think the weight

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21055-1
01:51:42.964 --> 01:51:45.526
based is another way they can do
that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21076-0
01:51:45.996 --> 01:51:49.472
I think there are not names that
there are communities that have

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21076-1
01:51:49.472 --> 01:51:52.306
passed through that are adapted
for that technology.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21090-0
01:51:52.316 --> 01:51:56.786
Yes, it sounds like you have for
us, but we'll see.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21092-0
01:51:56.876 --> 01:51:57.746
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21095-0
01:51:57.856 --> 01:51:58.206
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21106-0
01:51:58.216 --> 01:52:00.946
That's all any you're on.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21156-0
01:52:02.696 --> 01:52:06.856
I'm I'm wondering if any of the
recycling facilities present

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21156-1
01:52:06.856 --> 01:52:11.153
Castellar or Eco main or someone
else have done any studies of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21135-0
01:52:10.176 --> 01:52:10.346
What?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21156-2
01:52:11.153 --> 01:52:15.109
contamination rates pay as you
throw versus not because I

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21156-3
01:52:15.109 --> 01:52:19.474
always wonder if it's sometimes
just slips into the other other

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21156-4
01:52:19.474 --> 01:52:20.156
container.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21165-0
01:52:23.736 --> 01:52:25.146
I can't answer that for you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21171-0
01:52:25.156 --> 01:52:26.546
For me, I'd have to.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21174-0
01:52:26.556 --> 01:52:26.926
I'm not.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21191-0
01:52:26.936 --> 01:52:29.442
I'm not recycling guy, but I
just have, you know, a lot about

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21191-1
01:52:29.442 --> 01:52:29.846
recycling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21213-0
01:52:30.586 --> 01:52:34.133
Ah, I'm not sure that we
differentiated that, but I'll

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21213-1
01:52:34.133 --> 01:52:37.036
I'll check into it like I can
get an answer.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21217-0
01:52:37.046 --> 01:52:37.676
How about that?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21241-0
01:52:37.786 --> 01:52:40.463
OK, I actually have a chart from
Eco main, but they're not

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21241-1
01:52:40.463 --> 01:52:42.596
telling me that, but it does
demonstrate that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21265-0
01:52:42.606 --> 01:52:47.576
So I can send it to you as well
in the transfer station setting.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21312-0
01:52:47.726 --> 01:52:52.988
With the page you throw out a
couple of facilities that worked

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21312-1
01:52:52.988 --> 01:52:57.331
out and initially yes, but
usually you have to find

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21312-2
01:52:57.331 --> 01:53:02.259
somebody to be by those bins
anyway, and overtime you wear

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21312-3
01:53:02.259 --> 01:53:05.516
them down and they do the right
thing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21326-0
01:53:06.456 --> 01:53:08.706
I think she'll be might have
some insight on this too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21328-0
01:53:08.756 --> 01:53:09.176
OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21331-0
01:53:09.186 --> 01:53:09.896
Thank you. Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21347-0
01:53:17.696 --> 01:53:19.706
You've changed into a presenter,
Shelby.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21344-0
01:53:20.576 --> 01:53:21.066
Perfect.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21348-0
01:53:21.076 --> 01:53:21.696
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21368-0
01:53:21.736 --> 01:53:24.386
I was just gonna say that's an
excellent question, Elena.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21379-0
01:53:24.396 --> 01:53:26.846
And I am gonna see if we've done
any of those studies.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21394-0
01:53:26.856 --> 01:53:29.183
I don't know right off the top
of my head, but I'll look and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21394-1
01:53:29.183 --> 01:53:29.336
see.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21435-0
01:53:32.686 --> 01:53:37.355
I I do know anecdotally and
again when I think pay as you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21435-1
01:53:37.355 --> 01:53:42.588
throw programs start up, there's
issues of contamination showing

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21435-2
01:53:42.588 --> 01:53:43.876
up in recycling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21462-0
01:53:43.886 --> 01:53:48.026
Yes, and I mean the way we deal
with it is we treat the whole

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21462-1
01:53:48.026 --> 01:53:51.766
load as MSW and this the towns
get charged accordingly.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21482-0
01:53:52.256 --> 01:53:55.945
So the town self police because
it's in their vested interest to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21482-1
01:53:55.945 --> 01:53:56.286
do so.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21504-0
01:53:56.616 --> 01:53:59.795
But we have to let them know
that that's an issue and they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21504-1
01:53:59.795 --> 01:54:02.166
will send that educators to that
community.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21516-0
01:54:02.556 --> 01:54:04.926
But we're having an issue and
see if you know is.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21526-0
01:54:04.936 --> 01:54:08.496
Is it a communication issue or
is it something else?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21530-0
01:54:12.696 --> 01:54:13.016
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21549-0
01:54:13.026 --> 01:54:17.056
And not to continuously bring up
the the transfer station.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21556-0
01:54:17.066 --> 01:54:18.766
But that's, I think, where my
passion lies.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21581-0
01:54:18.776 --> 01:54:25.496
But having a neat, well funded
transfer station with educated

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21581-1
01:54:25.496 --> 01:54:31.565
attendees, operators, big
signage, it creates a culture

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21581-2
01:54:31.565 --> 01:54:36.226
that has an opportunity to
educate people.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21606-0
01:54:36.396 --> 01:54:41.728
Ohh only #2 plastic in that big
sizes #2 examples of #2 on the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21606-1
01:54:41.728 --> 01:54:42.236
board.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21612-0
01:54:44.026 --> 01:54:46.126
They see other people recycle
more.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21620-0
01:54:48.966 --> 01:54:49.676
Did the same thing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21667-0
01:54:49.926 --> 01:54:54.267
I would also maybe just while
we're on this note, is universal

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21667-1
01:54:54.267 --> 01:54:57.781
like symbols and colors
associated with recycling,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21667-2
01:54:57.781 --> 01:55:02.053
because if you go even again,
there's discrepancies in what's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21667-3
01:55:02.053 --> 01:55:05.636
collected in municipal recycling
from town to town.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21704-0
01:55:05.746 --> 01:55:09.352
There's also differences in like
the type of messaging, so like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21704-1
01:55:09.352 --> 01:55:12.620
in Scarborough for example,
there have been have a yellow

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21704-2
01:55:12.620 --> 01:55:14.536
top in South Portland, it's
blue.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21713-0
01:55:14.866 --> 01:55:17.566
In Portland, it's blue and some
other communities.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21727-0
01:55:17.576 --> 01:55:20.846
It's easier old container and it
can be whatever color you want.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21733-0
01:55:21.156 --> 01:55:22.426
Choose your own adventure.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21750-0
01:55:22.516 --> 01:55:25.791
So I think that those
discrepancies make it super

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21750-1
01:55:25.791 --> 01:55:27.166
confusing for people.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21776-0
01:55:27.176 --> 01:55:31.070
And just because you're bin has
a yellow talk, does that like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21776-1
01:55:31.070 --> 01:55:35.026
and and sometimes it's your your
bin system is green and blue.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21782-0
01:55:35.396 --> 01:55:36.516
Which one means recycling?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21802-0
01:55:36.526 --> 01:55:41.476
I don't know if it's not like
it's not additionally labeled or

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21802-1
01:55:41.476 --> 01:55:43.126
and translatable too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21845-0
01:55:43.136 --> 01:55:46.071
I think that's also important
when you're looking at in some

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21845-1
01:55:46.071 --> 01:55:49.151
of the communities in Southern
main, they're a lot more diverse

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21845-2
01:55:49.151 --> 01:55:51.990
populations there, a lot more
languages that are spoken in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21845-3
01:55:51.990 --> 01:55:52.856
those communities.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21889-0
01:55:52.866 --> 01:55:55.630
So I think that kind of
accessibility and having like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21889-1
01:55:55.630 --> 01:55:58.854
it's great, we're going to have
a readily recyclable list, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21889-2
01:55:58.854 --> 01:56:01.925
also making sure that there's
some uniformity and you know,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21889-3
01:56:01.925 --> 01:56:02.846
this is recycling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21938-0
01:56:02.856 --> 01:56:06.596
This is what recycling looks
like, and you know when we're in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21938-1
01:56:06.596 --> 01:56:10.578
businesses or public spaces, you
know, whether it's the recycling

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21938-2
01:56:10.578 --> 01:56:14.439
bin blue that I think is mostly
standardized or not, but having

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21938-3
01:56:14.439 --> 01:56:17.576
some sort of consistency, I
think it's really cool.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21964-0
01:56:22.316 --> 01:56:27.041
The really is that you guys have
ever said, DPR thought about or

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21964-1
01:56:27.041 --> 01:56:30.676
is there a reason you know,
effectiveness of and?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21977-0
01:56:30.806 --> 01:56:34.256
But then Hampshire folks do with
the training you do a lot.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/21984-0
01:56:34.266 --> 01:56:35.186
You've done a ton of training.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22006-0
01:56:35.196 --> 01:56:38.759
All the trains, almost every
transfer person to speak right,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22006-1
01:56:38.759 --> 01:56:42.030
they have a a licensing thing
for operators of transfer

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22006-2
01:56:42.030 --> 01:56:42.556
stations.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22024-0
01:56:43.086 --> 01:56:46.059
I wonder if, have you talked to
those folks and is there a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22024-1
01:56:46.059 --> 01:56:46.966
advantage to that?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22034-0
01:56:46.976 --> 01:56:48.366
Do they take it more seriously,
though?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22049-0
01:56:49.476 --> 01:56:52.174
Yeah, I I've not talked to other
states about the training

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22049-1
01:56:52.174 --> 01:56:52.586
programs.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22062-0
01:56:52.926 --> 01:56:56.536
Ohm, we do have an operator
certification program.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22094-0
01:56:56.546 --> 01:56:59.614
It's a voluntary on our part,
but it's a way to get the extra

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22094-1
01:56:59.614 --> 01:57:02.138
recognition for taking all of
the core courses and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22094-2
01:57:02.138 --> 01:57:04.316
demonstrating a certain level of
knowledge.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22115-0
01:57:04.906 --> 01:57:07.746
Some municipalities have seen
the value in that and actually

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22115-1
01:57:07.746 --> 01:57:10.446
meet the requirement of their
operators to get certified.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22165-0
01:57:11.216 --> 01:57:14.483
Umm, so it's optional for DP
that we certainly encourage

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22165-1
01:57:14.483 --> 01:57:18.094
people to participate and then
some municipalities like I said

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22165-2
01:57:18.094 --> 01:57:21.590
have seen that value and and
make it mandatory for employees

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22165-3
01:57:21.590 --> 01:57:25.086
which isn't something we ask for
is probably not a bad idea.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22171-0
01:57:25.336 --> 01:57:26.876
So it's kind of a character.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22174-0
01:57:27.456 --> 01:57:28.116
It is, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22183-0
01:57:29.666 --> 01:57:31.336
OK, verifications away.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22189-0
01:57:32.266 --> 01:57:34.596
They expire after all the
documents they do.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22191-0
01:57:34.866 --> 01:57:35.176
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22193-0
01:57:35.186 --> 01:57:35.356
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22208-0
01:57:35.366 --> 01:57:38.232
So this is an ongoing continuing
education requirement to stay

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22208-1
01:57:38.232 --> 01:57:38.596
current.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22226-0
01:57:38.766 --> 01:57:42.187
Brand is actually picking up the
reins on that program, so I'll

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22226-1
01:57:42.187 --> 01:57:43.256
click the landfills.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22241-0
01:57:43.266 --> 01:57:45.666
Do the swanna mole, of course.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22288-0
01:57:46.736 --> 01:57:51.161
Of course it's not required, but
that's, you know, pretty good

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22288-1
01:57:51.161 --> 01:57:55.235
course for and we do see him a
strong correlation between

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22288-2
01:57:55.235 --> 01:57:59.659
people who attend the training
sessions and and the the degree

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22288-3
01:57:59.659 --> 01:58:01.626
of compliance of facilities.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22330-0
01:58:02.276 --> 01:58:04.705
I don't know whether that's
because we're preaching the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22330-1
01:58:04.705 --> 01:58:07.567
choir or the people that want to
come to our classes, wanna do it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22330-2
01:58:07.567 --> 01:58:09.996
right or for great educators
that either way there is a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22330-3
01:58:09.996 --> 01:58:10.516
correlation.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22336-0
01:58:11.326 --> 01:58:12.556
And when you try to get people
involved.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22344-0
01:58:15.636 --> 01:58:16.486
So is there a way?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22372-0
01:58:16.596 --> 01:58:19.416
Is there a funding thing that's
not the other people are coming

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22372-1
01:58:19.416 --> 01:58:22.016
and just curious, you know, is
there a way to get to help?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22381-0
01:58:22.986 --> 01:58:23.696
What's the funding?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22399-0
01:58:23.706 --> 01:58:26.291
Somehow, for those small
communities where people can't

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22399-1
01:58:26.291 --> 01:58:27.676
come, maybe it's not ready to.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22460-0
01:58:27.686 --> 01:58:31.391
Maybe it's not the smoke windows
and drop, so they're not just

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22460-1
01:58:31.391 --> 01:58:35.272
assuming that well, we're, we're
we're kind of reestablishing the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22460-2
01:58:35.272 --> 01:58:38.624
operator training program after
COVID and after staffing

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22460-3
01:58:38.624 --> 01:58:42.388
shortages and with the advent of
some teams etcetera, after the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22460-4
01:58:42.388 --> 01:58:45.446
pandemic certainly going to take
advantage of that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22492-0
01:58:45.506 --> 01:58:48.600
And in a similar setting, so I
do think to your point, I do

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22492-1
01:58:48.600 --> 01:58:51.951
think that that travel has been
an obstacle for some, especially

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22492-2
01:58:51.951 --> 01:58:52.776
the more remote.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22508-0
01:58:53.026 --> 01:58:55.026
There is a spin difficult to get
people to.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22535-0
01:58:55.236 --> 01:58:58.445
We typically done trainings in
Portland, Augusta, Bangor and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22535-1
01:58:58.445 --> 01:59:01.812
Caribou and you know down East
for example, it's a long haul to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22535-2
01:59:01.812 --> 01:59:02.496
any of those.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22552-0
01:59:02.836 --> 01:59:05.718
I think that has been an
obstacle just the time and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22552-1
01:59:05.718 --> 01:59:06.826
travel to get there.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22578-0
01:59:06.836 --> 01:59:09.195
So hopefully by doing hybrid
sessions or offering more

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22578-1
01:59:09.195 --> 01:59:12.025
virtual trainings, we'll be able
to get better participation from

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22578-2
01:59:12.025 --> 01:59:13.226
people who made with tended.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22583-0
01:59:16.066 --> 01:59:16.496
Maybe.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22593-0
01:59:16.506 --> 01:59:20.036
Maybe going having an annually,
but maybe like.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22617-0
01:59:20.306 --> 01:59:23.926
I mean having a couple of more
remote locations like going and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22617-1
01:59:23.926 --> 01:59:27.259
Washington County like every
other year or something like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22617-2
01:59:27.259 --> 01:59:27.546
that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22641-0
01:59:27.626 --> 01:59:31.782
So so it gives them an
opportunity to but travel so

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22641-1
01:59:31.782 --> 01:59:36.978
far, yeah, they're just a couple
transportation still there that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22641-2
01:59:36.978 --> 01:59:38.656
don't have computers.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22644-0
01:59:39.426 --> 01:59:40.376
There are. Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22650-0
01:59:40.386 --> 01:59:41.896
So there's no emails.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22689-0
01:59:42.216 --> 01:59:44.851
We have been doing some outreach
to try to see if, you know,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22689-1
01:59:44.851 --> 01:59:47.615
maybe the operators would come
to a public works building or to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22689-2
01:59:47.615 --> 01:59:50.034
the to the town office and use a
computer there for the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22689-3
01:59:50.034 --> 01:59:50.466
trainings.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22708-0
01:59:50.476 --> 01:59:53.066
But she's doing some education
or some outreach right now to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22708-1
01:59:53.066 --> 01:59:55.316
see, you know, what day of the
week might work best.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22732-0
01:59:55.326 --> 01:59:57.356
You know, we've traditionally
done these in the spring and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22732-1
01:59:57.356 --> 01:59:59.146
fall outside tourist season
because it's less busy.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22744-0
02:00:00.076 --> 02:00:02.436
So we're finding that, you know,
depending on how busy we are.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22754-0
02:00:02.446 --> 02:00:03.916
So this is difficult for us to
offer it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22777-0
02:00:03.926 --> 02:00:05.913
So we're looking at you know, is
there a day that we must

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22777-1
02:00:05.913 --> 02:00:06.906
transfer stations are closed?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22826-0
02:00:06.916 --> 02:00:09.600
Maybe we could do the training
in the summer, you know,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22826-1
02:00:09.600 --> 02:00:12.669
providing more opportunities for
people to attend and trying to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22826-2
02:00:12.669 --> 02:00:15.497
lower the hurdles and in terms
of having to drive or maybe

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22826-3
02:00:15.497 --> 02:00:18.421
offering the training a little
bit more often to give people

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22826-4
02:00:18.421 --> 02:00:19.236
more shots at it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22834-0
02:00:19.246 --> 02:00:21.736
But yeah, Randy quite a little
work on that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22839-0
02:00:21.746 --> 02:00:22.496
So that's good.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22866-0
02:00:22.546 --> 02:00:25.611
Is it possible there could be
some sort of like curriculum

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22866-1
02:00:25.611 --> 02:00:28.676
that's asynchronous that could
be done kind of on your own

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22866-2
02:00:28.676 --> 02:00:28.936
time?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22906-0
02:00:29.146 --> 02:00:33.694
Like which I mean there could
be, but I think with what's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22906-1
02:00:33.694 --> 02:00:38.790
valuable with any live classroom
setting is the give and take of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22906-2
02:00:38.790 --> 02:00:39.966
back and forth.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22909-0
02:00:39.976 --> 02:00:41.966
The first gens. Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22968-0
02:00:42.036 --> 02:00:45.487
Yeah, I'm just wondering if it's
accessibility is an issue and it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22968-1
02:00:45.487 --> 02:00:48.676
if it conflicts with the day
that the transformation is like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22968-2
02:00:48.676 --> 02:00:52.075
really busy or or if they're one
that they have to oversee a lot

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22968-3
02:00:52.075 --> 02:00:55.265
and they can't just like step
away for an extended period of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22968-4
02:00:55.265 --> 02:00:55.526
time.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22986-0
02:00:55.716 --> 02:00:58.600
That way they can get chunks of
it on and on going, and I guess

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/22986-1
02:00:58.600 --> 02:00:59.726
it's better than nothing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23027-0
02:00:59.736 --> 02:01:03.481
Yeah, but we're going to do
that, that initial training,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23027-1
02:01:03.481 --> 02:01:07.751
which is a four hour course, you
know a few different times on a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23027-2
02:01:07.751 --> 02:01:11.956
few different days and try to,
you know, we won't hit everyone.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23042-0
02:01:12.046 --> 02:01:15.676
There is something in as much as
we can for sure. Certainly.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23054-0
02:01:15.886 --> 02:01:17.996
See, I know the value of the in
person.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23140-0
02:01:18.006 --> 02:01:20.577
I think that being able to ask
the questions in real time is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23140-1
02:01:20.577 --> 02:01:23.064
really important, but it's a
work in progress, but we have

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23140-2
02:01:23.064 --> 02:01:25.552
had requests and during the
pandemic. When couldn't go out

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23140-3
02:01:25.552 --> 02:01:26.226
and do training.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23142-0
02:01:26.766 --> 02:01:29.851
We've actually, you know, I
revamped some of the the primary

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23142-1
02:01:29.851 --> 02:01:32.582
training to add more text to it,
to make it more self

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23142-2
02:01:32.582 --> 02:01:35.364
explanatory, because usually
some of the presenters so

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23142-3
02:01:35.364 --> 02:01:38.095
modified some of the
presentations to make them serve

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23142-4
02:01:38.095 --> 02:01:39.916
a little bit better for self
study.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23175-0
02:01:40.486 --> 02:01:43.993
But there is a lot of value in
presenting in front of the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23175-1
02:01:43.993 --> 02:01:47.561
class, even virtually because
the information is there but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23175-2
02:01:47.561 --> 02:01:50.645
people pick it up differently
and there's specific

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23175-3
02:01:50.645 --> 02:01:52.096
circumstances will vary.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23196-0
02:01:52.106 --> 02:01:55.468
And so somebody will inevitably
ask a question that, you know,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23196-1
02:01:55.468 --> 02:01:57.816
half the class was thinking and
didn't ask.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23263-0
02:01:57.826 --> 02:02:01.000
And so you know the there may be
something that doesn't

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23263-1
02:02:01.000 --> 02:02:04.741
necessarily appear on the slides
or that we can't anticipate, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23263-2
02:02:04.741 --> 02:02:08.084
maybe a very valid question that
you know, so whether it's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23263-3
02:02:08.084 --> 02:02:11.542
physically in the same location
or live virtually having the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23263-4
02:02:11.542 --> 02:02:14.772
ability to sort of address those
questions that we can't

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23263-5
02:02:14.772 --> 02:02:16.416
anticipate as a lot of value.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23265-0
02:02:17.096 --> 02:02:17.366
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23285-0
02:02:17.416 --> 02:02:19.528
So we we're trying to do it with
the human being involves

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23285-1
02:02:19.528 --> 02:02:20.366
somewhere where we can.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23302-0
02:02:20.436 --> 02:02:22.721
But, but you know, to your
point, we have, you know, sent

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23302-1
02:02:22.721 --> 02:02:23.706
out the training modules.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23318-0
02:02:23.716 --> 02:02:26.601
What people look at themselves
on their own, I think it's, you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23318-1
02:02:26.601 --> 02:02:28.066
know, better than nothing. Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23320-0
02:02:28.106 --> 02:02:28.706
Yeah, definitely.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23331-0
02:02:37.526 --> 02:02:40.476
Speaking bargain lately, I'm
meeting my daughter to see you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23347-0
02:02:50.616 --> 02:02:52.806
We do want to lose sight of
organics either.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23374-0
02:02:52.896 --> 02:02:56.883
So we I think I don't know if
everybody heard, but we are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23374-1
02:02:56.883 --> 02:03:01.077
getting rid of funding through
the Climate Pollution Fund to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23374-2
02:03:01.077 --> 02:03:02.246
study food waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23395-0
02:03:02.316 --> 02:03:05.073
We initially had two different
studies in mind that we were

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23395-1
02:03:05.073 --> 02:03:06.636
hoping to get enough funding
for.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23419-0
02:03:08.146 --> 02:03:11.969
It looks like right now we're
just gonna be looking at

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23419-1
02:03:11.969 --> 02:03:16.348
generation, so trying to measure
and also quantify and and and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23419-2
02:03:16.348 --> 02:03:18.016
qualitative information.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23442-0
02:03:18.026 --> 02:03:22.087
So how much waste is generated
within the various sectors once

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23442-1
02:03:22.087 --> 02:03:24.536
the quality and type of the
material?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23447-0
02:03:24.746 --> 02:03:26.526
Is it suitable for diversion?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23454-0
02:03:26.706 --> 02:03:28.676
Could it be to over donation?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23469-0
02:03:28.766 --> 02:03:32.981
If not, could it be used to make
food products like upcycled

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23469-1
02:03:32.981 --> 02:03:33.396
foods?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23539-0
02:03:33.686 --> 02:03:37.384
Could it go to animal feed or is
it not something that's edible

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23539-1
02:03:37.384 --> 02:03:40.967
for anybody and it just needs to
go to composing or in Arabic

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23539-2
02:03:40.967 --> 02:03:44.492
digestion, but just trying to
gather really good information

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23539-3
02:03:44.492 --> 02:03:47.901
so we know kind of what we're
dealing with for in terms of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23539-4
02:03:47.901 --> 02:03:51.368
food waste specifically, but
obviously leave in the yard is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23539-5
02:03:51.368 --> 02:03:53.506
another big portion of the
organics.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23549-0
02:03:53.576 --> 02:03:55.366
It does seem like a lot of towns
have.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23618-0
02:03:55.376 --> 02:03:58.501
They're only 10 yard composting,
but we don't have great

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23618-1
02:03:58.501 --> 02:04:01.791
information on that because we
get about half the municipal

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23618-2
02:04:01.791 --> 02:04:04.752
recycling reports and I would
say even with very much

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23618-3
02:04:04.752 --> 02:04:08.152
concerted efforts and outreach
to the towns to try to get the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23618-4
02:04:08.152 --> 02:04:11.387
reports in, although we're
definitely getting more than we

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23618-5
02:04:11.387 --> 02:04:13.416
do what you guys makes me feel
good.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23622-0
02:04:13.426 --> 02:04:15.866
Yeah, don't have I.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23631-0
02:04:16.016 --> 02:04:18.366
Yeah, but means vegans, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23664-0
02:04:18.376 --> 02:04:22.801
We do have problems with, you
know, Miss Municipalities

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23664-1
02:04:22.801 --> 02:04:27.384
sending in there recycling
reports and it's it's a dogged

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23664-2
02:04:27.384 --> 02:04:29.676
battle to get them to report.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23666-0
02:04:30.126 --> 02:04:30.416
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23742-0
02:04:31.466 --> 02:04:34.251
So we, we're we're lacking
information on organics

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23742-1
02:04:34.251 --> 02:04:37.472
management currently, but at
least this study will give us

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23742-2
02:04:37.472 --> 02:04:40.693
information on how much is
generated and then we're hoping

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23742-3
02:04:40.693 --> 02:04:44.242
that the waste characterization,
which is a separate buddy study

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23742-4
02:04:44.242 --> 02:04:47.682
also funded through EPA grant
money that will be able to get a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23742-5
02:04:47.682 --> 02:04:50.958
better handle on the organics in
the way straight umm as it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23742-6
02:04:50.958 --> 02:04:51.886
stands currently.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23769-0
02:04:51.896 --> 02:04:56.240
So so that the goal is in that
final final, but another

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23769-1
02:04:56.240 --> 02:05:00.506
analysis, an infrastructure
analysis, yeah, that says.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23778-0
02:05:00.516 --> 02:05:06.086
OK, thinks the results of the
generation characterization.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23790-0
02:05:06.426 --> 02:05:09.116
OK, this is the kind of
infrastructure you'll need.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23799-0
02:05:09.406 --> 02:05:12.836
You wanna make these these these
improvements?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23801-0
02:05:13.136 --> 02:05:13.766
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23817-0
02:05:14.116 --> 02:05:18.466
Felt like a universal recipient
of those grants that well.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23854-0
02:05:18.476 --> 02:05:21.714
The grants come so the the, the,
the two grand one is a is a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23854-1
02:05:21.714 --> 02:05:24.846
climate grant that we're getting
to go into the governor's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23854-2
02:05:24.846 --> 02:05:28.296
office, that we're getting money
for from the governor's office.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23868-0
02:05:28.306 --> 02:05:31.506
'S office so that now with
literally will put it on FPL.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23886-0
02:05:31.826 --> 02:05:33.916
But that study it's the same
thing with the waste

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23886-1
02:05:33.916 --> 02:05:34.626
characterization.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23893-0
02:05:34.856 --> 02:05:36.626
We're getting the money from P
i.e.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23912-0
02:05:36.896 --> 02:05:40.870
Is and we will just turn around
and use that money for an RFP

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23912-1
02:05:40.870 --> 02:05:41.126
for.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23921-0
02:05:41.196 --> 02:05:43.286
It's where is the station study?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23928-0
02:05:43.416 --> 02:05:45.106
Where is it being measured from?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23933-0
02:05:45.196 --> 02:05:46.836
Is it just scattered?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23949-0
02:05:46.896 --> 02:05:49.363
It's gonna be kind of the same
for the food waste generation

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23949-1
02:05:49.363 --> 02:05:49.606
study.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23978-0
02:05:49.616 --> 02:05:52.964
It's going to be a sampling, so
we have a pretty detailed list

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23978-1
02:05:52.964 --> 02:05:56.418
of potential generators and then
they're going to have to sample

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23978-2
02:05:56.418 --> 02:05:57.056
at generate.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23989-0
02:05:57.066 --> 02:06:01.858
Some might be a restaurant food
processing facility, school,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/23989-1
02:06:01.858 --> 02:06:03.586
hospital, residential.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24025-0
02:06:03.596 --> 02:06:06.305
So there's a big list of
entities that they're going to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24025-1
02:06:06.305 --> 02:06:09.354
have to go out and specifically
try to estimate how much waste

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24025-2
02:06:09.354 --> 02:06:11.676
their generating and to
characterize the waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24032-0
02:06:11.686 --> 02:06:15.116
So and what could be done be
done with that?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24036-0
02:06:15.386 --> 02:06:18.116
Are you sorry?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24045-0
02:06:18.196 --> 02:06:21.006
Uh, are you getting data from?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24053-0
02:06:22.636 --> 02:06:26.506
Do you get compost station
reports?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24074-0
02:06:26.636 --> 02:06:33.083
More easily use the kiosks, not
the kiosk of like there is an

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24074-1
02:06:33.083 --> 02:06:35.786
actual report for compost.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24131-0
02:06:35.796 --> 02:06:41.170
Facilities are the entities who
fill that out, sending it in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24131-1
02:06:41.170 --> 02:06:46.192
more so because it's just
compost versus the MSW reports

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24131-2
02:06:46.192 --> 02:06:51.214
that in kind of includes
everything from municipality of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24131-3
02:06:51.214 --> 02:06:56.677
thinking, you know, yes, ego
mean has uh anaerobic digestion,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24131-4
02:06:56.677 --> 02:06:59.496
they've got food waste drop off.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24137-0
02:06:59.506 --> 02:07:00.986
They're a collection facility.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24147-0
02:07:00.996 --> 02:07:06.046
They report on theirs, but what
about the anaerobic digester?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24153-0
02:07:06.056 --> 02:07:07.946
That things were we don't, we
don't. We don't.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24159-0
02:07:08.416 --> 02:07:08.866
How much?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24192-0
02:07:09.256 --> 02:07:14.063
How much they get there and then
the actual compost facility

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24192-1
02:07:14.063 --> 02:07:18.871
within the state because they
all are worth the big ones are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24192-2
02:07:18.871 --> 02:07:20.526
licensed and do that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24199-0
02:07:20.576 --> 02:07:21.946
OK, there aren't a lot.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24212-0
02:07:21.956 --> 02:07:26.036
So there is a we don't look at
small on farm, right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24243-0
02:07:26.426 --> 02:07:31.579
So yeah, they larger and then
what type, what people are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24243-1
02:07:31.579 --> 02:07:37.275
doing, like the schools and the
hospitals and whatnot for food

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24243-2
02:07:37.275 --> 02:07:41.976
waste generation, like something
like that, Jackie.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24246-0
02:07:45.866 --> 02:07:46.206
We did.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24253-0
02:07:49.646 --> 02:07:50.246
Hello, Jackie.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24268-0
02:07:51.816 --> 02:07:54.318
What about the garbage gardens
in the world's the smaller

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24268-1
02:07:54.318 --> 02:07:54.706
entities?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24279-0
02:07:54.716 --> 02:07:58.146
Entities, but they're haulers,
but they don't actually compost.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24290-0
02:07:58.156 --> 02:08:01.486
But we do, so we just get data
from the composters.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24310-0
02:08:01.526 --> 02:08:04.490
OK, so where they take the
material then since they think

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24310-1
02:08:04.490 --> 02:08:05.256
it's no longer?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24312-0
02:08:06.016 --> 02:08:06.426
Compost.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24315-0
02:08:06.696 --> 02:08:07.326
Compost.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24318-0
02:08:08.116 --> 02:08:09.346
They're doing it through.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24371-0
02:08:10.716 --> 02:08:16.108
Exeter, Exeter and also through
what was main waste solution,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24371-1
02:08:16.108 --> 02:08:21.673
right and they are the license
compost facility in Auburn where

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24371-2
02:08:21.673 --> 02:08:26.804
they are mocked a certified and
stuff that a lot of it the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24371-3
02:08:26.804 --> 02:08:31.326
residential goes there, the
commercial goes to wow.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24403-0
02:08:33.406 --> 02:08:40.078
Recomposed it, yeah, but there
are a lot of smaller pop up ones

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24403-1
02:08:40.078 --> 02:08:45.186
like a a big composter in uh
like Rockland area.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24427-0
02:08:45.196 --> 02:08:47.978
There are quite a few that are
popping up, but I don't know

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24427-1
02:08:47.978 --> 02:08:49.786
where their facilities are
processing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24446-0
02:08:49.796 --> 02:08:53.541
If they're doing it on the site,
I think is 1 you're talking

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24446-1
02:08:53.541 --> 02:08:55.506
about permit, and I think a pad.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24449-0
02:08:56.256 --> 02:08:56.866
You're good.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24465-0
02:08:57.126 --> 02:08:59.363
So they're going to be doing
some of the processing

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24465-1
02:08:59.363 --> 02:08:59.836
processing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24469-0
02:08:59.846 --> 02:09:00.296
OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24487-0
02:09:00.846 --> 02:09:04.037
So more of that, we need more
infrastructure just like that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24487-1
02:09:04.037 --> 02:09:05.526
because it's too much scale.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24497-0
02:09:05.536 --> 02:09:08.785
But you mentioned mentioned, but
they're they're not, so you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24497-1
02:09:08.785 --> 02:09:10.276
don't have that information.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24502-0
02:09:10.446 --> 02:09:11.156
No, I'm sorry.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24517-0
02:09:11.166 --> 02:09:15.923
It's based on how much food food
they take in, so I forget the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24517-1
02:09:15.923 --> 02:09:17.056
exact language.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24522-0
02:09:17.066 --> 02:09:19.966
It's not even have the
information.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24525-0
02:09:19.976 --> 02:09:20.566
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24549-0
02:09:20.576 --> 02:09:23.857
We just don't have, we don't
collect reporting from the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24549-1
02:09:23.857 --> 02:09:27.256
exempt entities, which would be
those that take in under.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24598-0
02:09:27.266 --> 02:09:30.251
I forget that from the cubic
yards and the farms going to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24598-1
02:09:30.251 --> 02:09:33.545
quite a lot of it's through the
Department of Agriculture, they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24598-2
02:09:33.545 --> 02:09:36.581
they have a like a compost
management plan and they can do

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24598-3
02:09:36.581 --> 02:09:39.566
a fair amount of composting
under that without getting DP

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24598-4
02:09:39.566 --> 02:09:39.926
permit.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24622-0
02:09:39.936 --> 02:09:43.245
So we don't have the same data
from those as as we do from PDP

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24622-1
02:09:43.245 --> 02:09:44.296
licensed facilities.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24682-0
02:09:46.886 --> 02:09:49.715
So part of looking at the
infrastructure would be trying

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24682-1
02:09:49.715 --> 02:09:52.892
to figure out some of this stuff
that we don't have information

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24682-2
02:09:52.892 --> 02:09:56.118
on to would just be like where's
the infrastructure that we that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24682-3
02:09:56.118 --> 02:09:59.097
it exists and it's there is a
viable option, but we may not

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24682-4
02:09:59.097 --> 02:10:00.536
know all of it at this point.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24713-0
02:10:02.956 --> 02:10:08.620
But I'm the drop off in Portland
has really, I mean, curbside

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24713-1
02:10:08.620 --> 02:10:13.096
composting is huge in many
southern Maine towns.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24721-0
02:10:15.116 --> 02:10:19.736
However, the drop off in
Portland has created more.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24771-0
02:10:21.176 --> 02:10:26.371
Accessibility to and we've had
the languages translated, so

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24771-1
02:10:26.371 --> 02:10:31.653
they're posted at the drop off
site and literally I send out

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24771-2
02:10:31.653 --> 02:10:37.108
information on it through the
solid waste program, even though

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24771-3
02:10:37.108 --> 02:10:42.476
it's run by sustainability to
thousands of people every year.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24802-0
02:10:42.906 --> 02:10:47.649
And it it's taken off a lot more
than I thought it would for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24802-1
02:10:47.649 --> 02:10:52.391
people who are like schlepping
their stuff versus putting it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24802-2
02:10:52.391 --> 02:10:53.946
out with your trash.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24817-0
02:10:54.046 --> 02:10:56.086
How many drop off locations do
you have in Portland?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24838-0
02:10:56.096 --> 02:11:01.768
Now we have eight with a ninth
one in the in the signs are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24838-1
02:11:01.768 --> 02:11:02.826
being made.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24852-0
02:11:02.836 --> 02:11:07.118
We're going to actually have one
at public works umm on Campbell

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24852-1
02:11:07.118 --> 02:11:07.316
Rd.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24862-0
02:11:07.616 --> 02:11:11.816
So that residents can do it, but
it is.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24884-0
02:11:11.926 --> 02:11:16.785
It's a growing thing which I was
surprised that so many residents

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24884-1
02:11:16.785 --> 02:11:19.656
want to do that, and it's free,
right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24896-0
02:11:19.796 --> 02:11:21.256
It's free when the residents.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24907-0
02:11:21.266 --> 02:11:24.426
Yeah, when you're because you
throw the food waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24938-0
02:11:24.436 --> 02:11:27.801
Ohh, taking up a lot of space in
those bags, so getting that out

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24938-1
02:11:27.801 --> 02:11:30.286
is yes, every new resident who
moves into town.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24959-0
02:11:30.296 --> 02:11:33.453
I tell them about it like
because they're like, Oh my God,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24959-1
02:11:33.453 --> 02:11:35.326
I have to pay 1750 for trash
bags.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24967-0
02:11:38.166 --> 02:11:40.666
So any questions? Better too?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24971-0
02:11:41.076 --> 02:11:42.356
Yeah, the trash.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24973-0
02:11:44.726 --> 02:11:45.096
Huge.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/24983-0
02:11:46.216 --> 02:11:52.086
That's exactly Elena has a
comment or question?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25014-0
02:11:53.876 --> 02:11:56.531
Yeah, I was just wondering, you
said one's gonna be at public

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25014-1
02:11:56.531 --> 02:11:59.186
works and wondering where the
sites are and what you found to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25014-2
02:11:59.186 --> 02:11:59.786
be good sites?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25068-0
02:12:01.186 --> 02:12:07.837
So currently we have a free food
waste drop off at each community

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25068-1
02:12:07.837 --> 02:12:14.386
garden and then also location at
Fitzpatrick stadium rate behind

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25068-2
02:12:14.386 --> 02:12:20.533
King Middle School and then the
other one that is not at no,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25068-3
02:12:20.533 --> 02:12:24.866
they're all community gardens
living town.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25123-0
02:12:25.606 --> 02:12:30.051
UM, there are eight drop offs
and Fitzpatrick is the only one

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25123-1
02:12:30.051 --> 02:12:34.138
that's not a community garden
and it seems to be the low

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25123-2
02:12:34.138 --> 02:12:38.583
location, the new one at Public
Works is going to kind of hit

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25123-3
02:12:38.583 --> 02:12:42.526
that end of town where there
isn't a community garden.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25149-0
02:12:43.376 --> 02:12:48.138
Payson Park Community Garden is
local, but it's not for those

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25149-1
02:12:48.138 --> 02:12:52.363
residents who live way out
Washington Ave, and they're

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25149-2
02:12:52.363 --> 02:12:54.206
close to the ballet fly.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25154-0
02:12:57.516 --> 02:12:58.236
Jackie Elliott.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25163-0
02:13:01.976 --> 02:13:02.206
Below.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25160-0
02:13:02.096 --> 02:13:02.756
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25184-0
02:13:03.626 --> 02:13:07.647
Umm, I just have to say this has
been probably the most hopeful

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25184-1
02:13:07.647 --> 02:13:10.286
conversation of all these
meetings today.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25215-0
02:13:11.566 --> 02:13:17.081
It's just obvious that a lot of
thought and effort is going into

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25215-1
02:13:17.081 --> 02:13:22.426
the various pieces around what
is going to result in improved,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25215-2
02:13:22.426 --> 02:13:25.396
hopefully management of
materials.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25220-0
02:13:26.216 --> 02:13:26.646
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25264-0
02:13:28.696 --> 02:13:33.884
If I I appreciate the data that
is being gathered, and I think

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25264-1
02:13:33.884 --> 02:13:38.824
perhaps maybe the department has
even today become aware of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25264-2
02:13:38.824 --> 02:13:43.929
additional data that they might
wanna umm collect in order to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25264-3
02:13:43.929 --> 02:13:46.976
come up with a a more thorough
plan.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25306-0
02:13:47.386 --> 02:13:52.697
And it's just so important to
have a plan with specifics

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25306-1
02:13:52.697 --> 02:13:58.568
because we've got to find the
way to move past just responding

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25306-2
02:13:58.568 --> 02:14:03.879
to or a crisis such as the P
fast crisis, sludge slides,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25306-3
02:14:03.879 --> 02:14:05.836
Flyers and landfills.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25310-0
02:14:05.846 --> 02:14:06.936
Toxic plumes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25315-0
02:14:07.306 --> 02:14:08.386
All of those things.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25319-0
02:14:08.986 --> 02:14:09.476
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25373-0
02:14:10.106 --> 02:14:16.415
And I think we could probably be
agreed that strategic planning

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25373-1
02:14:16.415 --> 02:14:22.033
up to now has perhaps not
approached it with an analysis

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25373-2
02:14:22.033 --> 02:14:28.046
of that includes precaution,
synergistic and impl cumulative

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25373-3
02:14:28.046 --> 02:14:33.566
impacts of our choices about how
we manage and dispose.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25393-0
02:14:34.306 --> 02:14:39.181
And I would add, most
importantly, the justice aspect

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25381-0
02:14:35.266 --> 02:14:35.586
I mean.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25393-1
02:14:39.181 --> 02:14:43.786
of how these activities get
deployed and employed.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25395-0
02:14:44.696 --> 02:14:45.286
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25438-0
02:14:45.836 --> 02:14:50.813
And surrounding all of this
conversation, we have to be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25438-1
02:14:50.813 --> 02:14:55.524
honest and admit that the
legislative and regulatory

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25438-2
02:14:55.524 --> 02:15:01.213
framework I with which we work
at this point has primarily been

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25438-3
02:15:01.213 --> 02:15:03.346
established by industry.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25473-0
02:15:04.346 --> 02:15:10.176
Do this limits your abilities as
members of the department to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25453-0
02:15:05.756 --> 02:15:05.916
Yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25461-0
02:15:09.986 --> 02:15:10.266
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25473-1
02:15:10.176 --> 02:15:15.536
perhaps make better choices and
and have the tools to to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25473-2
02:15:15.536 --> 02:15:16.946
implement them?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25498-0
02:15:18.186 --> 02:15:22.840
The other thing I think we
probably should acknowledge,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25498-1
02:15:22.840 --> 02:15:28.075
honestly, we keep referring to,
you know, moving things up the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25498-2
02:15:28.075 --> 02:15:28.906
hierarchy.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25536-0
02:15:30.206 --> 02:15:34.560
And I think we, if we're honest,
we're gonna have to admit that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25536-1
02:15:34.560 --> 02:15:38.643
we're not gonna be able to
divert or recycle our way out of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25536-2
02:15:38.643 --> 02:15:41.296
this mess at the top of the
hierarchy.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25539-0
02:15:41.346 --> 02:15:42.236
Should be the word.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25541-0
02:15:42.246 --> 02:15:42.646
Rethink.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25552-0
02:15:44.276 --> 02:15:48.856
Uh, we need to focus and shift
our choices.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25578-0
02:15:48.866 --> 02:15:53.140
That was gonna be required to
consume less, and we're gonna

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25569-0
02:15:52.186 --> 02:15:52.336
Like.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25578-1
02:15:53.140 --> 02:15:56.916
have to turn away from
needlessly wasteful outcomes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25592-0
02:15:58.416 --> 02:16:06.026
It must be choosing to to waste
less and let's not get overly.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25627-0
02:16:07.536 --> 02:16:12.043
Focused on individual choices
here as being the root of the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25608-0
02:16:10.676 --> 02:16:10.856
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25627-1
02:16:12.043 --> 02:16:16.475
problem, because as individuals
and consumers, we make our

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25627-2
02:16:16.475 --> 02:16:19.856
choices from the options that
are available.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25629-0
02:16:20.856 --> 02:16:21.366
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25664-0
02:16:21.616 --> 02:16:27.571
Corporate and profit interest
primarily Dr Outcomes and I

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25664-1
02:16:27.571 --> 02:16:33.115
would like us to perhaps
acknowledge that there is no

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25655-0
02:16:31.606 --> 02:16:31.756
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25664-2
02:16:33.115 --> 02:16:35.476
away for what we waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25681-0
02:16:35.486 --> 02:16:38.396
In other words, we there's no
place to put it, that it's not a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25681-1
02:16:38.396 --> 02:16:38.766
problem.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25713-0
02:16:39.986 --> 02:16:44.336
And just as requires that the
burdens and benefits of the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25713-1
02:16:44.336 --> 02:16:48.761
decisions we make around are
materials, management must be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25713-2
02:16:48.761 --> 02:16:52.286
echoed, fully shared by all of
Maine citizens.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25716-0
02:16:52.696 --> 02:16:54.136
We we can't.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25761-0
02:16:54.476 --> 02:16:59.403
Continue with this model of
sacrifice zones with all the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25732-0
02:16:57.266 --> 02:16:57.426
What?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25761-1
02:16:59.403 --> 02:17:04.590
landfills and Penobscot County
you know certain communities

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25761-2
02:17:04.590 --> 02:17:09.431
being exposed to the extreme
impacts from landfills and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25761-3
02:17:09.431 --> 02:17:13.926
incinerators is it's just not,
it's just not right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25765-0
02:17:15.126 --> 02:17:15.676
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25826-0
02:17:16.166 --> 02:17:20.709
So with that, I would ask the
question if part of the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25779-0
02:17:19.066 --> 02:17:19.466
OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25826-1
02:17:20.709 --> 02:17:26.178
conversation could turn to does
the DEP have a vision that would

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25826-2
02:17:26.178 --> 02:17:30.890
counteract the obvious
stranglehold that Cassella waste

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25826-3
02:17:30.890 --> 02:17:35.096
systems has had on our
legislation and regulation

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25826-4
02:17:35.096 --> 02:17:40.313
around the collection of waste
processing disposal operations

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25826-5
02:17:40.313 --> 02:17:40.986
in main?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25838-0
02:17:41.056 --> 02:17:43.086
And this is not just me saying
this.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25843-0
02:17:43.356 --> 02:17:43.466
Yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25891-0
02:17:43.676 --> 02:17:49.862
This has been a matter of study
by engineers, experts, academia

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25891-1
02:17:49.862 --> 02:17:55.951
since at least the early 2000s
of what we're facing here and a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25891-2
02:17:55.951 --> 02:18:00.880
question what do you as a
department need from the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25891-3
02:18:00.880 --> 02:18:07.066
legislature from regulation to
do a better job for all of Maine

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25891-4
02:18:07.066 --> 02:18:07.936
citizens?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25927-0
02:18:09.616 --> 02:18:13.991
And where does the commitment to
public health and environmental

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25927-1
02:18:13.991 --> 02:18:17.895
justice for communities already
heavily impacted by waste

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25917-0
02:18:15.306 --> 02:18:15.546
He.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25927-2
02:18:17.895 --> 02:18:21.866
processing and disposal come in
to the plan going forward?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25952-0
02:18:21.876 --> 02:18:25.941
We that needs to be part of a
materials management plan in my

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25952-1
02:18:25.941 --> 02:18:26.466
opinion.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25948-0
02:18:27.746 --> 02:18:28.416
Thank you, Jackie.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25963-0
02:18:28.426 --> 02:18:31.126
I think we have another comment
complaint from Elena too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25964-0
02:18:31.576 --> 02:18:31.856
2.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/25969-0
02:18:34.886 --> 02:18:35.276
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26019-0
02:18:37.936 --> 02:18:42.028
I think one of the things we've
noticed in these meetings is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26019-1
02:18:42.028 --> 02:18:46.321
that in a lot of cases there are
there are a number of entities

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26019-2
02:18:46.321 --> 02:18:50.614
throughout the state that feel
they don't have a lot of choices

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26019-3
02:18:50.614 --> 02:18:53.566
when it comes to waste
management services.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26018-0
02:18:51.446 --> 02:18:51.596
This.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26104-0
02:18:53.576 --> 02:18:57.957
And then we're also aware of a
lot of entities in the state

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26036-0
02:18:57.166 --> 02:18:57.396
The.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26104-1
02:18:57.957 --> 02:19:02.557
that, umm, have created their
own options for waste management

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26104-2
02:19:02.557 --> 02:19:06.792
services, created their own
transfer stations, reasonable

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26104-3
02:19:06.792 --> 02:19:10.808
transfer stations, large
regional facilities and and I

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26104-4
02:19:10.808 --> 02:19:15.335
think that one of the reasons
that this last meeting has been

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26104-5
02:19:15.335 --> 02:19:19.935
a little bit more positive is
because we are in an area of the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26097-0
02:19:19.406 --> 02:19:19.766
Right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26104-6
02:19:19.935 --> 02:19:24.316
state that has more resources
umm to tackle these problems.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26107-0
02:19:25.006 --> 02:19:25.516
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26147-0
02:19:26.246 --> 02:19:30.075
And you know, I don't know if
other people want to respond to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26147-1
02:19:30.075 --> 02:19:34.089
Jackie on this, but I think that
one thing that's worth thinking

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26135-0
02:19:31.446 --> 02:19:31.606
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26147-2
02:19:34.089 --> 02:19:36.806
about is which of these things
that we see.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26217-0
02:19:36.816 --> 02:19:42.016
These southern main communities
being able to do to sort of take

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26217-1
02:19:42.016 --> 02:19:46.496
waste management into their own
hands and and not be as

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26217-2
02:19:46.496 --> 02:19:51.056
dependent on other entities in
terms of looking at their

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26217-3
02:19:51.056 --> 02:19:55.776
options, which of those, which
of those things can be most

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26217-4
02:19:55.776 --> 02:20:00.496
easily translated to other
communities in Maine that maybe

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26207-0
02:19:56.216 --> 02:19:56.766
In public.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26217-5
02:20:00.496 --> 02:20:04.096
have fewer resources, different
geographies.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26224-0
02:20:03.366 --> 02:20:03.576
The.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26228-0
02:20:04.216 --> 02:20:05.656
So I think that's something to
think about.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26233-0
02:20:05.666 --> 02:20:06.706
If anyone has thoughts on that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26257-0
02:20:18.586 --> 02:20:21.717
Seems like the infrastructure
and the collection system is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26257-1
02:20:21.717 --> 02:20:23.946
what is really what makes the
difference.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26263-0
02:20:24.006 --> 02:20:24.286
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26298-0
02:20:24.296 --> 02:20:28.782
Having central regional
facilities and where that's not

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26298-1
02:20:28.782 --> 02:20:33.508
feasible, having a hub where
people can drop stuff off and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26298-2
02:20:33.508 --> 02:20:38.394
get umm, if that business about
right to have this where the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26298-3
02:20:38.394 --> 02:20:39.596
stuff goes but.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26302-0
02:20:41.976 --> 02:20:42.806
Better infrastructure?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26308-0
02:20:48.496 --> 02:20:48.936
Got it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26341-0
02:20:48.946 --> 02:20:52.646
Does seem like at least the food
scrap collection like that seems

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26341-1
02:20:52.646 --> 02:20:56.346
like it's working really well in
this area, and now it's starting

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26341-2
02:20:56.346 --> 02:20:57.916
to spread the coastal areas.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26372-0
02:21:00.036 --> 02:21:03.730
There's a lot of room and other
areas for it to potentially be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26372-1
02:21:03.730 --> 02:21:07.013
develop, although if you guys
are doing or you're doing

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26372-2
02:21:07.013 --> 02:21:08.186
anaerobic digestion.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26380-0
02:21:08.236 --> 02:21:10.436
So that's the plan for your
facility question.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26384-0
02:21:10.476 --> 02:21:11.346
Yeah. Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26401-0
02:21:11.356 --> 02:21:14.146
I mean, they want it before they
creating so much.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26417-0
02:21:14.156 --> 02:21:17.269
They hadn't even planned on at
that point that flared off,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26417-1
02:21:17.269 --> 02:21:17.586
right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26428-0
02:21:18.386 --> 02:21:22.446
So at Taylor has a comment.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26482-0
02:21:23.446 --> 02:21:27.336
Hi I I hear a lot about
education and such and I have to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26482-1
02:21:27.336 --> 02:21:31.294
applaud Eco main for their
website because they do have a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26482-2
02:21:31.294 --> 02:21:35.457
database where you can select an
item or type in an item and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26482-3
02:21:35.457 --> 02:21:38.596
it'll tell you exactly where you
can take it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26516-0
02:21:39.106 --> 02:21:42.975
I think that could maybe, if
they'd be willing to share, you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26516-1
02:21:42.975 --> 02:21:46.526
know, other facilities could do
the same thing and just

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26516-2
02:21:46.526 --> 02:21:48.936
customize it to fit their
situations.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26521-0
02:21:48.096 --> 02:21:48.246
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26545-0
02:21:49.266 --> 02:21:52.804
A couple of side things is I
don't know if you guys have seen

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26545-1
02:21:52.804 --> 02:21:56.056
this documentaries out of
Australia called War on waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26560-0
02:21:56.326 --> 02:21:59.023
They're hitting the mainstream
now, but I've been watching

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26560-1
02:21:59.023 --> 02:21:59.526
season one.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26570-0
02:21:59.886 --> 02:22:02.226
The first three episodes, and
it's free on tubi.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26589-0
02:22:02.236 --> 02:22:06.134
If you want to watch it by the
way, the first three episodes

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26584-0
02:22:02.306 --> 02:22:02.466
Right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26589-1
02:22:06.134 --> 02:22:07.476
cover food diversion.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26622-0
02:22:08.586 --> 02:22:12.956
Uh plastics and clothing, which
are the main things that have

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26618-0
02:22:09.916 --> 02:22:14.656
And yes, yeah, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26622-1
02:22:12.956 --> 02:22:17.326
been discussed in these forums
about what do we do with this.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26627-0
02:22:17.436 --> 02:22:18.936
And I really admire the
Australians.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26638-0
02:22:18.946 --> 02:22:21.726
They're greedy people, but
they're no nonsense too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26691-0
02:22:21.736 --> 02:22:25.325
And it's it can be a little hard
to take to watch these

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26691-1
02:22:25.325 --> 02:22:29.171
documentaries because there are
quite graphic, but until we

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26691-2
02:22:29.171 --> 02:22:33.209
literally take people in hand
and and squeeze them financially

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26691-3
02:22:33.209 --> 02:22:37.439
to charge them more for throwing
away food and charging them more

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26691-4
02:22:37.439 --> 02:22:39.106
for buying cheap clothing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26709-0
02:22:39.536 --> 02:22:44.504
Because once someone starts
paying extra for something, it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26700-0
02:22:39.696 --> 02:22:40.066
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26709-1
02:22:44.504 --> 02:22:45.936
loses its allure.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26736-0
02:22:46.046 --> 02:22:49.306
You know you buy cheap clothing
cause it's cheap, but if you add

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26736-1
02:22:49.306 --> 02:22:52.415
on a surcharge for diversion,
waste diversion for it, then it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26749-0
02:22:52.016 --> 02:22:55.536
That should work.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26736-2
02:22:52.415 --> 02:22:52.816
doesn't.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26754-0
02:22:52.826 --> 02:22:58.026
It's no longer cheap, you know,
so it's just tough love.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26760-0
02:22:58.156 --> 02:23:00.676
And also the story of stuff.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26767-0
02:23:01.086 --> 02:23:02.376
It's a great website.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26779-0
02:23:02.426 --> 02:23:05.496
It's very educational and it's
fun for all ages.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26783-0
02:23:05.926 --> 02:23:06.326
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26786-0
02:23:08.496 --> 02:23:09.136
Thank you, Kat.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26789-0
02:23:13.366 --> 02:23:13.716
Thanks.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26800-0
02:23:17.666 --> 02:23:19.656
Jason there, it's a I don't
know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26806-0
02:23:20.236 --> 02:23:20.476
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26815-0
02:23:20.566 --> 02:23:22.536
One that looked at my work in
the front.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26819-0
02:23:22.716 --> 02:23:23.056
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26838-0
02:23:23.066 --> 02:23:27.569
Through it just seems like you
need to have composting and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26838-1
02:23:27.569 --> 02:23:30.546
recycling free all excited for
you do.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26864-0
02:23:30.596 --> 02:23:33.745
Yeah, you gotta have if you have
page, you throw, you need to be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26864-1
02:23:33.745 --> 02:23:36.846
really aggressive and providing
all the alternatives out there,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26864-2
02:23:36.846 --> 02:23:37.476
right. Right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26867-0
02:23:37.486 --> 02:23:37.686
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26870-0
02:23:37.696 --> 02:23:38.126
Yeah, I can.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26874-0
02:23:38.136 --> 02:23:39.036
People appreciate it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26884-0
02:23:39.076 --> 02:23:40.486
Yeah, you gotta give them the
opportunity.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26902-0
02:23:40.496 --> 02:23:43.761
Yeah, you have to give that
outlet for the material that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26902-1
02:23:43.761 --> 02:23:44.276
they can.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26904-0
02:23:45.236 --> 02:23:45.866
The burner.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26906-0
02:23:46.056 --> 02:23:46.256
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26909-0
02:23:47.296 --> 02:23:47.786
Thank good.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26920-0
02:23:47.796 --> 02:23:53.092
Welcome material looking great
collection place to bring up,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26920-1
02:23:53.092 --> 02:23:53.526
yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26925-0
02:23:56.766 --> 02:23:56.996
Right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26944-0
02:23:57.006 --> 02:24:01.070
Like some of those multi units
that are supposed to be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26944-1
02:24:01.070 --> 02:24:04.026
providing recycling that really
aren't.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26969-0
02:24:04.346 --> 02:24:07.630
I've got some residents into
food waste drop off at least

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26969-1
02:24:07.630 --> 02:24:10.970
because it doesn't matter if
they're in a commercial sized

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26969-2
02:24:10.970 --> 02:24:11.876
building versus.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26986-0
02:24:13.616 --> 02:24:17.106
Family that cause Portland Halls
it's own trash and recycling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26996-0
02:24:17.416 --> 02:24:19.616
We don't contract it all out.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/26998-0
02:24:21.046 --> 02:24:21.166
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27019-0
02:24:21.546 --> 02:24:26.861
So some of those residents who
really wouldn't know about it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27019-1
02:24:26.861 --> 02:24:30.956
have called begging for
recycling and whatnot.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27045-0
02:24:30.966 --> 02:24:34.797
So it's it kind of gives another
outlet of like, oh, I can't help

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27045-1
02:24:34.797 --> 02:24:36.886
here, but here I can give you
that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27048-0
02:24:39.406 --> 02:24:40.446
OK, you too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27052-0
02:24:40.666 --> 02:24:41.886
Nice question earlier about.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27078-0
02:24:43.506 --> 02:24:46.409
Pay as you throw and how does
that impact the recyclables that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27078-1
02:24:46.409 --> 02:24:48.436
are actually going in the
recycling stream?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27107-0
02:24:48.706 --> 02:24:51.907
I think that was something that
I saw a lot while not having

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27107-1
02:24:51.907 --> 02:24:55.109
access to recycling because I
would collect my recycling and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27107-2
02:24:55.109 --> 02:24:56.316
add it to other people.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27111-0
02:24:56.786 --> 02:24:57.526
In the neighborhood.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27132-0
02:24:58.206 --> 02:25:04.863
But I just saw so much trash, so
much like, you know, for in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27132-1
02:25:04.863 --> 02:25:07.046
their pizzas, shoes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27154-0
02:25:07.056 --> 02:25:10.168
I mean, you work in Ukrainian,
you've seen everything and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27154-1
02:25:10.168 --> 02:25:12.476
everything that's ever gone and
recycling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27183-0
02:25:13.046 --> 02:25:16.624
So that part was always like,
wow, people are avoiding that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27183-1
02:25:16.624 --> 02:25:20.500
payment for the bags and they're
just throwing everything in the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27183-2
02:25:20.500 --> 02:25:21.096
recycling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27193-0
02:25:21.746 --> 02:25:24.746
The not giving the bags so I
don't know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27222-0
02:25:24.756 --> 02:25:27.545
I don't have an answer for that,
and I know that's definitely not

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27222-1
02:25:27.545 --> 02:25:29.997
everyone by any means, but
there's a lot of people there,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27222-2
02:25:29.997 --> 02:25:31.476
but they're doing the right
thing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27238-0
02:25:31.486 --> 02:25:36.601
But how do you how do you like
manage that part of the problem

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27238-1
02:25:36.601 --> 02:25:36.926
too?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27243-0
02:25:36.936 --> 02:25:37.666
I don't know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27259-0
02:25:37.876 --> 02:25:41.455
That's where I think transfer
stations lend themselves towards

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27259-1
02:25:41.455 --> 02:25:41.966
solution.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27270-0
02:25:42.016 --> 02:25:45.346
Yeah, because there's always
somebody standing there, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27276-0
02:25:45.356 --> 02:25:46.326
That's a really good point.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27310-0
02:25:46.396 --> 02:25:50.271
Yeah, transient stability issue
is just it's an unmanned Dropbox

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27310-1
02:25:50.271 --> 02:25:54.026
curbside and it's curbside to
get out of, you know, you're of.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27312-0
02:25:54.276 --> 02:25:54.846
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27333-0
02:25:54.856 --> 02:25:57.671
Well, if you have some typos
monitoring you hanging like you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27333-1
02:25:57.671 --> 02:25:59.056
don't like the tagging system.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27345-0
02:25:59.356 --> 02:26:04.896
Yeah, but that again, like so
much, so much pedestrian

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27345-1
02:26:04.896 --> 02:26:07.616
traffic, contaminates also.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27350-0
02:26:07.786 --> 02:26:08.256
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27369-0
02:26:08.726 --> 02:26:13.151
Going from one place to another
and US policing it from a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27369-1
02:26:13.151 --> 02:26:15.516
standpoint of the city of Ohhh.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27379-0
02:26:15.526 --> 02:26:18.756
Wait, you have contamination in
your recycling bin.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27416-0
02:26:18.766 --> 02:26:23.076
And they're like, well, I look
at the bars in between my

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27416-1
02:26:23.076 --> 02:26:27.689
location and people are just
dropping off their pizza slices

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27416-2
02:26:27.689 --> 02:26:28.596
or whatever.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27456-0
02:26:28.606 --> 02:26:32.373
And it's it's frustrating for a
lot of people that they can't

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27456-1
02:26:32.373 --> 02:26:36.079
just throw it into a bin, that
they're trash bag has already

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27456-2
02:26:36.079 --> 02:26:38.206
been picked up because it's a
pay.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27468-0
02:26:38.216 --> 02:26:41.026
As you throw and then they're
like, oh, I'm stuck with this.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27477-0
02:26:42.016 --> 02:26:43.416
Wait, what do I do with it?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27515-0
02:26:44.646 --> 02:26:47.828
That just kind of reminds you
this might be a little bit off

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27515-1
02:26:47.828 --> 02:26:50.488
topic, but the I can't
conversation recently about

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27515-2
02:26:50.488 --> 02:26:53.565
Portland for example and not
really having access to trash

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27515-3
02:26:53.565 --> 02:26:53.826
bins.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27536-0
02:26:54.616 --> 02:26:58.521
I don't know if that's ever been
a topic or anything like that,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27536-1
02:26:58.521 --> 02:26:59.986
but there's some public.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27540-0
02:27:00.056 --> 02:27:00.356
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27561-0
02:27:00.366 --> 02:27:05.611
Like, yeah, I think that that's
really lacking, at least in my

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27561-1
02:27:05.611 --> 02:27:07.526
experience in Portland.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27588-0
02:27:07.796 --> 02:27:10.715
And then the places that do have
the like in Portland Trail, you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27588-1
02:27:10.715 --> 02:27:12.826
know, they they had a trail
system with trash.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27591-0
02:27:12.836 --> 02:27:13.746
They were overflowing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27596-0
02:27:13.796 --> 02:27:14.686
Yeah, all the time, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27602-0
02:27:14.696 --> 02:27:15.796
Or they're all the time, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27608-0
02:27:18.136 --> 02:27:19.596
We have had good luck with the.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27656-0
02:27:21.336 --> 02:27:27.094
We installed a couple of
inground trash bins that pulled

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27656-1
02:27:27.094 --> 02:27:33.357
300 gallons, and it's a special
truck they had to build them,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27656-2
02:27:33.357 --> 02:27:36.286
but parks got them installed.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27691-0
02:27:36.296 --> 02:27:41.004
The eastern prom is one example,
but they were because our

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27691-1
02:27:41.004 --> 02:27:45.632
regular trash cans we couldn't
put enough in those public

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27691-2
02:27:45.632 --> 02:27:47.866
locations when this started.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27695-0
02:27:48.466 --> 02:27:50.836
And you know, we're lacking.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27736-0
02:27:51.716 --> 02:27:55.964
Prove staff to go service those
and that was one solution that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27736-1
02:27:55.964 --> 02:28:00.010
has actually been very they've
worked out really well, even

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27736-2
02:28:00.010 --> 02:28:03.786
though they've only been in the
ground like six months.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27746-0
02:28:04.776 --> 02:28:08.001
But everybody's always
suggesting more public trash

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27746-1
02:28:08.001 --> 02:28:09.056
locations to you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27770-0
02:28:09.816 --> 02:28:13.643
It's that comes out little
basically a little compactor in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27770-1
02:28:13.643 --> 02:28:16.626
there or yeah, it's like a long
bag actually.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27835-0
02:28:16.636 --> 02:28:21.073
And there's a special crane hook
that pulls the bag out when it's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27835-1
02:28:21.073 --> 02:28:24.838
full, but it's got all these
sensors, and I'm sure that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27835-2
02:28:24.838 --> 02:28:29.074
there's gonna be, you know, just
like the big belly trash cans

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27835-3
02:28:29.074 --> 02:28:33.376
that have the solar sensors that
eventually there's going to be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27835-4
02:28:33.376 --> 02:28:35.326
parts that might have issues.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27871-0
02:28:35.336 --> 02:28:41.584
But it is in terms of the volume
of trash at those locations is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27871-1
02:28:41.584 --> 02:28:47.246
greatly changed to that or put
30 can't yes, and 30 cans.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27893-0
02:28:47.256 --> 02:28:52.079
Just don't look good when you're
trying to be welcome to the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27893-1
02:28:52.079 --> 02:28:53.976
world for your tourists.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27899-0
02:28:55.066 --> 02:28:57.456
Like this, little like.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27912-0
02:28:58.666 --> 02:29:02.156
Compactors that drive around and
then those are so cool.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27926-0
02:29:02.166 --> 02:29:04.926
And they just throw it right
into it a lot easier.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27936-0
02:29:06.696 --> 02:29:08.856
Elena, you're gonna keep your
hand up this time.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27946-0
02:29:12.486 --> 02:29:12.696
No.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27947-0
02:29:13.946 --> 02:29:15.346
I don't want to take us off
track.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27954-0
02:29:21.146 --> 02:29:21.476
Is there?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27958-0
02:29:21.706 --> 02:29:22.406
We're off track.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27967-0
02:29:24.486 --> 02:29:26.636
Curious like under the organics.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27983-0
02:29:26.706 --> 02:29:30.858
I know because I know one who
posts all the stuff for the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27983-1
02:29:30.858 --> 02:29:31.216
yard.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/27985-0
02:29:31.226 --> 02:29:31.706
Waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28011-0
02:29:33.316 --> 02:29:37.370
What other communities are doing
like I know South Portland, you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28011-1
02:29:37.370 --> 02:29:40.676
can take it and drop it off at
the transfer station.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28019-0
02:29:40.686 --> 02:29:42.886
And in Portland, it's different.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28025-0
02:29:42.896 --> 02:29:44.406
We've bought a system.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28078-0
02:29:44.446 --> 02:29:49.439
Which system and you get 10 drop
offs a year, but some residents

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28078-1
02:29:49.439 --> 02:29:54.125
have so much yard ways they even
having the accessibility of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28078-2
02:29:54.125 --> 02:29:57.659
dropping off free at the
transfer station and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28078-3
02:29:57.659 --> 02:30:01.807
participating in the two the
spring and fall curbside

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28078-4
02:30:01.807 --> 02:30:04.726
collection, they still have too
much.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28081-0
02:30:05.316 --> 02:30:05.986
What if?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28091-0
02:30:06.276 --> 02:30:09.006
What other towns in making you
do?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28113-0
02:30:09.076 --> 02:30:13.974
Because most of my research ends
up out of state of what places

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28113-1
02:30:13.974 --> 02:30:16.806
are doing for yard waste
collection?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28141-0
02:30:17.256 --> 02:30:19.336
Because it's not accepted in
food waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28162-0
02:30:19.566 --> 02:30:23.300
I I know that there are a number
of transfer stations that have

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28162-1
02:30:23.300 --> 02:30:26.976
their own whip in your compost
pile, but but I mean, obviously

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28162-2
02:30:26.976 --> 02:30:29.426
Portland is much bigger than
most of the.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28175-0
02:30:29.466 --> 02:30:31.196
I mean than any of the other
times I think so.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28178-0
02:30:31.206 --> 02:30:32.876
It's a different, different.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28208-0
02:30:32.916 --> 02:30:40.076
We are working with Ego main Umm
and we diverted and composed it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28208-1
02:30:40.076 --> 02:30:46.465
like 35 tons of Christmas trees
last year in the month of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28208-2
02:30:46.465 --> 02:30:47.346
January.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28240-0
02:30:47.356 --> 02:30:51.213
So that's something that we
started working on together of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28240-1
02:30:51.213 --> 02:30:55.202
like, hey, why are we throwing
these in the trash truck when

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28240-2
02:30:55.202 --> 02:30:57.686
they're organics and could be
reused?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28280-0
02:30:58.156 --> 02:31:01.767
Why not try to come up with a
new and they bought a whole

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28280-1
02:31:01.767 --> 02:31:05.689
website now like a whole link of
what transfer stations except

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28280-2
02:31:05.689 --> 02:31:08.366
the Christmas tree, drop offs
and whatnot.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28323-0
02:31:08.376 --> 02:31:13.069
But it's one of those questions
of what's out there in the way

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28323-1
02:31:13.069 --> 02:31:17.390
to stream that can be, could be
reused for something else

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28323-2
02:31:17.390 --> 02:31:21.785
instead of taking up space in a
landfill or going to waste

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28323-3
02:31:21.785 --> 02:31:22.306
energy.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28326-0
02:31:22.366 --> 02:31:22.556
OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28346-0
02:31:25.276 --> 02:31:27.739
And you have to digress too
much, but I have a feeling of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28346-1
02:31:27.739 --> 02:31:28.376
climate change.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28366-0
02:31:28.386 --> 02:31:31.617
We're gonna see even more
vegetation showing up because

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28366-1
02:31:31.617 --> 02:31:34.386
the trees getting knocked down
and heavy winds.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28370-0
02:31:35.386 --> 02:31:35.846
Yeah, I see.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28385-0
02:31:36.246 --> 02:31:39.156
I live in Waterboro and just
driving home yesterday it was.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28394-0
02:31:39.166 --> 02:31:41.846
It was an eye opener. Washed
out.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28410-0
02:31:41.856 --> 02:31:44.966
Roads lens down and this is a
typical storm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28424-0
02:31:44.976 --> 02:31:48.816
Now you know we talked about
that in a meeting last time too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28429-0
02:31:48.926 --> 02:31:50.956
It's just preparing for.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28439-0
02:31:50.966 --> 02:31:54.156
Yeah, you natural disaster
waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28445-0
02:31:54.436 --> 02:31:55.646
And it creates a lot.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28467-0
02:31:56.586 --> 02:31:59.482
Not a lot of things we think
about on a day to day, right,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28467-1
02:31:59.482 --> 02:32:00.856
and things that can be hard.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28472-0
02:32:00.866 --> 02:32:02.416
Like they're talking about that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28484-0
02:32:02.426 --> 02:32:05.060
But if there's a big disaster,
it's hard to separate things

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28484-1
02:32:05.060 --> 02:32:05.236
out.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28518-0
02:32:05.246 --> 02:32:08.017
So you can't necessarily go on
and like ohh this tree can be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28518-1
02:32:08.017 --> 02:32:10.606
chipped and this concrete can be
separated up with this.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28548-0
02:32:10.616 --> 02:32:13.112
It's like you just need a
dumpster because you've got so

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28548-1
02:32:13.112 --> 02:32:15.826
much that you're dealing with
because it's an emergency, like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28548-2
02:32:15.826 --> 02:32:16.746
you're not emergency.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28557-0
02:32:16.756 --> 02:32:18.786
But it's just such an area of
devastation.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28581-0
02:32:18.796 --> 02:32:22.676
It's like they just, you know,
you need to have some of the you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28581-1
02:32:22.676 --> 02:32:24.556
need to have a plan beforehand.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28584-0
02:32:24.566 --> 02:32:24.996
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28598-0
02:32:25.006 --> 02:32:28.040
Yes, because if you don't,
because then you're just gonna

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28598-1
02:32:28.040 --> 02:32:28.616
have chaos.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28624-0
02:32:28.646 --> 02:32:32.096
Afterwards, which means it will
do the easiest thing, which is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28624-1
02:32:32.096 --> 02:32:34.396
putting the pedal potato and
ship it off.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28629-0
02:32:34.806 --> 02:32:35.986
Plus, they won't be.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28664-0
02:32:36.026 --> 02:32:40.224
FEMA won't reimburse you if it's
not done putting the spec right

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28664-1
02:32:40.224 --> 02:32:43.904
in the counties have a big role
in this, and not all the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28664-2
02:32:43.904 --> 02:32:45.196
counties are active.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28696-0
02:32:46.616 --> 02:32:50.605
I did do a little bit of work
with Nash County a while back

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28696-1
02:32:50.605 --> 02:32:54.926
and it was very informative and
they actually started on the the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28696-2
02:32:54.926 --> 02:32:56.056
kernel of a plan.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28720-0
02:32:56.066 --> 02:33:00.086
I don't know where it is now,
but they better get on with it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28720-1
02:33:00.086 --> 02:33:01.536
because here it comes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28732-0
02:33:03.176 --> 02:33:05.076
Can't tell her has something
that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28730-0
02:33:05.776 --> 02:33:06.226
Hi.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28773-0
02:33:06.276 --> 02:33:11.547
Yeah, I'm curious to know where
this compost goes from yard

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28773-1
02:33:11.547 --> 02:33:16.994
waste because you don't know
what people are putting in their

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28773-2
02:33:16.994 --> 02:33:22.353
yard as far as herbicides and
pesticides and feces and other

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28773-3
02:33:22.353 --> 02:33:23.846
things, you know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28784-0
02:33:23.856 --> 02:33:27.426
So I hope that that isn't being
used to grow food.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28795-0
02:33:28.196 --> 02:33:31.736
Uh, that would probably not be a
good thing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28797-0
02:33:32.756 --> 02:33:33.486
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28832-0
02:33:34.096 --> 02:33:39.512
And as far as chipping, chipping
up trees, the asphalt and people

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28832-1
02:33:39.512 --> 02:33:44.601
go by every year and collect
branches that are cut off by the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28829-0
02:33:42.166 --> 02:33:42.506
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28832-2
02:33:44.601 --> 02:33:46.406
DOT and shred them up.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28861-0
02:33:46.476 --> 02:33:49.861
Maybe you could start a campaign
to have people set out trees

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28861-1
02:33:49.861 --> 02:33:53.355
that they've cut from their yard
for the aspirin people to just

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28861-2
02:33:53.355 --> 02:33:53.846
shred up.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28876-0
02:33:53.856 --> 02:33:56.266
And what they do is just dump
them right back on the land.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28891-0
02:33:56.496 --> 02:34:00.726
So they act as kind of a
landfill, and it's free. Thanks.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28894-0
02:34:01.156 --> 02:34:01.416
Thanks.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28899-0
02:34:03.346 --> 02:34:04.166
Can I ask it?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28903-0
02:34:04.546 --> 02:34:05.236
I don't know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28910-0
02:34:05.366 --> 02:34:07.136
Maybe it's a different.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28919-0
02:34:07.286 --> 02:34:09.266
I guess it is the change of
subject a little bit.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28927-0
02:34:10.306 --> 02:34:11.706
Is this a good time for that
right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28930-0
02:34:11.776 --> 02:34:12.126
Sure.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28956-0
02:34:13.876 --> 02:34:18.432
In terms of how the how you see
the plane coming together, there

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28956-1
02:34:18.432 --> 02:34:21.166
are a lot of, you know, probably
ways.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28996-0
02:34:21.176 --> 02:34:24.136
We've talked a lot about what
people generate their homes, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28996-1
02:34:24.136 --> 02:34:26.766
that's a piece of the waste
stream and there's some big

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28996-2
02:34:26.766 --> 02:34:29.256
commercial stuff that
deconstruction stuff, there's,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/28996-3
02:34:29.256 --> 02:34:31.276
you know, the batteries that
urban filled.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29005-0
02:34:31.546 --> 02:34:33.316
Uh, that's what shingles.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29010-0
02:34:34.846 --> 02:34:35.476
Keep going.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29017-0
02:34:35.696 --> 02:34:36.876
Well, 10 minutes soil.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29025-0
02:34:37.256 --> 02:34:40.336
Umm, so is is there?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29039-0
02:34:40.346 --> 02:34:43.526
How do you see that being
addressed in the in the plan?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29069-0
02:34:45.006 --> 02:34:48.343
I know there's, like you
mentioned this this implants for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29069-1
02:34:48.343 --> 02:34:52.026
some of those they love and big
one of course I didn't mention.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29073-0
02:34:52.226 --> 02:34:54.146
That's right, a little bit.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29110-0
02:34:55.386 --> 02:34:58.955
I mean, I think part of the the
plan is going to be a update of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29110-1
02:34:58.955 --> 02:35:02.468
like the these are the materials
that are causing issues using

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29110-2
02:35:02.468 --> 02:35:03.806
this is what's in place.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29134-0
02:35:04.626 --> 02:35:07.603
This is these are the issues
that we need to like that we

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29134-1
02:35:07.603 --> 02:35:10.016
need to actually come up with a
game plan for.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29156-0
02:35:10.096 --> 02:35:15.889
So I think the plan will a lot
of the plan will be identifying

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29156-1
02:35:15.889 --> 02:35:18.556
the needs for further action.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29158-0
02:35:19.086 --> 02:35:19.346
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29179-0
02:35:20.366 --> 02:35:25.343
So and I know there's and
individually, there's most of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29179-1
02:35:25.343 --> 02:35:25.876
those.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29225-0
02:35:25.886 --> 02:35:29.626
This is plans for, but I'm not
sure there are, you know, but I

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29225-1
02:35:29.626 --> 02:35:33.246
think like like like I mean I
think it's what you saying but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29225-2
02:35:33.246 --> 02:35:36.867
like say like batteries, you
know we've identified batteries

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29225-3
02:35:36.867 --> 02:35:39.776
or an issue and the plans going
to say you know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29239-0
02:35:42.546 --> 02:35:45.236
Batteries of issue becomes fires
blah blah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29293-0
02:35:45.246 --> 02:35:50.133
You know, these are some ways
that the that the state can move

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29293-1
02:35:50.133 --> 02:35:54.710
forward on making this either,
you know, ending, expanding

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29293-2
02:35:54.710 --> 02:35:59.675
anyways technically battery, you
know expanding the battery, uh

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29293-3
02:35:59.675 --> 02:36:03.476
batteries for collection and
that type of thing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29321-0
02:36:03.486 --> 02:36:08.821
So I mean, a lot of the plan is
going to be identifying issues

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29321-1
02:36:08.821 --> 02:36:13.056
that we need legislative action
on, right, right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29334-0
02:36:13.066 --> 02:36:15.396
And and and and it's work.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29364-0
02:36:15.406 --> 02:36:20.578
I mean, and it did that in 19,
you know, like the 70s, you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29364-1
02:36:20.578 --> 02:36:25.136
know, stuff is is is an outcome
of somebody, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29368-0
02:36:25.146 --> 02:36:26.126
That's right. It is.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29372-0
02:36:26.136 --> 02:36:26.326
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29383-0
02:36:26.336 --> 02:36:29.366
Well, as as well as you know a
lot of stuff that's happening.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29386-0
02:36:29.626 --> 02:36:31.326
Yeah, right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29393-0
02:36:31.336 --> 02:36:32.456
I mean, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29423-0
02:36:32.466 --> 02:36:37.576
So the plan, it's not gonna
necessarily to provide the plan,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29423-1
02:36:37.576 --> 02:36:42.770
but provide the the discussion
points for we need to plan for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29423-2
02:36:42.770 --> 02:36:45.116
these items that won't miss.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29426-0
02:36:45.126 --> 02:36:45.796
It might not have.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29444-0
02:36:45.806 --> 02:36:50.009
It won't have the yeah of
repeating myself, but yeah,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29444-1
02:36:50.009 --> 02:36:51.566
yeah, it's gonna be.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29469-0
02:36:53.126 --> 02:36:58.626
And I think we can all say the
2019 one was kind of kind of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29469-1
02:36:58.626 --> 02:37:03.026
light and we're going to try and
improve on it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29475-0
02:37:03.076 --> 02:37:05.446
So it was also.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29480-0
02:37:06.556 --> 02:37:08.056
Sideswiped by COVID.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29482-0
02:37:08.876 --> 02:37:09.506
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29485-0
02:37:10.396 --> 02:37:10.596
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29542-0
02:37:12.746 --> 02:37:15.905
So how was just curious because,
you know that's those are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29542-1
02:37:15.905 --> 02:37:19.010
expected with that there are a
lot of things about what's

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29542-2
02:37:19.010 --> 02:37:22.437
generated in the household, but
that's I don't I don't actually

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29542-3
02:37:22.437 --> 02:37:25.596
have an understanding of how
much of the array string that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29542-4
02:37:25.596 --> 02:37:27.416
is, but I know it's only a
piece.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29546-0
02:37:28.596 --> 02:37:29.166
Yeah, right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29560-0
02:37:29.176 --> 02:37:30.973
I mean, that's actually part of
the like, the character we

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29560-1
02:37:30.973 --> 02:37:31.156
don't.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29575-0
02:37:31.306 --> 02:37:34.234
And the voice question that is,
uh, yeah, part of the waste

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29575-1
02:37:34.234 --> 02:37:35.796
opposite less right part of the.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29596-0
02:37:35.936 --> 02:37:39.264
Waste characterization studies
would kind of have an include

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29596-1
02:37:39.264 --> 02:37:42.046
like, you know, you know what,
what's residential?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29603-0
02:37:42.056 --> 02:37:44.196
Commercial the secretaries, too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29613-0
02:37:44.206 --> 02:37:48.136
So you know you can say that you
know what?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29633-0
02:37:48.266 --> 02:37:52.599
How much of the waste stream
making the landfills and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29633-1
02:37:52.599 --> 02:37:55.166
incinerators is actually coming?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29727-0
02:37:55.276 --> 02:37:59.468
Is actually MSW from our
households and how much is it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29727-1
02:37:59.468 --> 02:38:03.812
actually coming from commercial
facilities and and those

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29727-2
02:38:03.812 --> 02:38:08.537
facilities too that we want to
have an answer on that because

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29727-3
02:38:08.537 --> 02:38:13.338
you know if if if you municipal
if residential municipal waste

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29727-4
02:38:13.338 --> 02:38:18.063
is only 20% and commercial waste
is you know 4050% and you're

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29727-5
02:38:18.063 --> 02:38:22.636
trying to make right, right,
yeah put your money with them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29731-0
02:38:23.416 --> 02:38:24.976
Yeah, it is interesting.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29751-0
02:38:24.986 --> 02:38:29.386
I I was a part of a CD materials
management work for the demo.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29816-0
02:38:29.396 --> 02:38:32.301
It does, and there was a
presentation on deconstruction

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29816-1
02:38:32.301 --> 02:38:35.207
at one point and I don't
remember the exact figure, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29816-2
02:38:35.207 --> 02:38:38.423
but one of the things that stood
out to me was was one of the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29816-3
02:38:38.423 --> 02:38:41.796
presenters said something to the
effect that if you, if you demo

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29816-4
02:38:41.796 --> 02:38:45.064
a single single family house,
the weight of that house is more

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29816-5
02:38:45.064 --> 02:38:47.866
than the trash of that person
produces in a lifetime.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29839-0
02:38:48.666 --> 02:38:51.081
You know, it's sort of
interesting to think about that,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29839-1
02:38:51.081 --> 02:38:53.626
but you know that's that's a lot
of that's a lot of touch.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29852-0
02:38:53.816 --> 02:38:56.236
It doesn't happen as often every
throw something away every day.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29862-0
02:38:56.246 --> 02:38:58.196
Don't care house down every day,
but it's just interesting.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29870-0
02:38:58.206 --> 02:39:00.366
That's a pretty significant
amount of waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29913-0
02:39:00.656 --> 02:39:03.238
And then the point you made
about the tenant soils dredge

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29913-1
02:39:03.238 --> 02:39:05.997
material, stuff like that, I
think that falls off the radar a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29913-2
02:39:05.997 --> 02:39:08.267
little bit because it's often
associated just with

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29913-3
02:39:08.267 --> 02:39:08.846
construction.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29920-0
02:39:08.856 --> 02:39:11.406
Commercial activity has its own
permitting processes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29971-0
02:39:11.416 --> 02:39:14.097
It goes through things like
that, but there's a very

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29971-1
02:39:14.097 --> 02:39:17.335
significant amount of material
that needs to find a home and in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29971-2
02:39:17.335 --> 02:39:20.572
many cases where it may be very
lightly contaminated, maybe the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/29971-3
02:39:20.572 --> 02:39:23.456
use of limited landfill space
isn't the best use for it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30002-0
02:39:24.326 --> 02:39:27.376
And there are options through
beneficially as permitting and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30002-1
02:39:27.376 --> 02:39:30.276
things like that, but then
lining up timing of generation

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30002-2
02:39:30.276 --> 02:39:32.326
and time of need to use it is
difficult.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30009-0
02:39:32.336 --> 02:39:33.116
So there are some obstacles.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30020-0
02:39:33.436 --> 02:39:35.986
That's something that probably
deserves some further attention.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30024-0
02:39:36.036 --> 02:39:36.526
Yeah, I know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30045-0
02:39:36.536 --> 02:39:39.244
Like some places have done like,
I think like there's some like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30045-1
02:39:39.244 --> 02:39:40.386
New York City or something.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30087-0
02:39:40.396 --> 02:39:44.430
That's like a I'm not sure if
I'm saying everybody, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30087-1
02:39:44.430 --> 02:39:48.319
there's like a soil, not
contaminated soil bank where

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30087-2
02:39:48.319 --> 02:39:52.713
they store lately contaminated
soil until it can then find a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30087-3
02:39:52.713 --> 02:39:55.306
beneficial use at another
facility.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30105-0
02:39:55.316 --> 02:39:57.476
So you don't have this like ohh
I gotta get this.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30135-0
02:39:57.826 --> 02:40:00.545
I'm digging this up right now
because I'm building a building

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30135-1
02:40:00.545 --> 02:40:03.264
in two weeks and I need to find
a home for it, but I guess it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30135-2
02:40:03.264 --> 02:40:04.316
was simply the landfill.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30183-0
02:40:04.766 --> 02:40:08.062
I can take it someplace for
storage and then, you know, use

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30183-1
02:40:08.062 --> 02:40:11.359
it when when it is actually
really, it's really it's really

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30183-2
02:40:11.359 --> 02:40:14.820
it's our experience for working
in Portland is really tough on

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30183-3
02:40:14.820 --> 02:40:17.787
those with type sites and I
can't imagine New York or

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30183-4
02:40:17.787 --> 02:40:18.556
Boston, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30216-0
02:40:18.996 --> 02:40:21.511
I mean, yeah, you know, they
literally like you can take four

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30216-1
02:40:21.511 --> 02:40:24.026
trucks out a day because that's
all you can get in there with

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30216-2
02:40:24.026 --> 02:40:24.716
all the activity.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30229-0
02:40:25.346 --> 02:40:28.946
And you go down to stories and
based in the basement.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30232-0
02:40:29.076 --> 02:40:30.306
Yeah, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30290-0
02:40:30.316 --> 02:40:34.969
I got 100 trucks or whatever it
is just to put into perspective,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30290-1
02:40:34.969 --> 02:40:39.407
like 2021, we had around 900,000
tons of MSW, 500,000 tons of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30290-2
02:40:39.407 --> 02:40:43.774
demo and under 250,000 tons of
special waste, which would be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30290-3
02:40:43.774 --> 02:40:47.496
like the contaminated soils,
stuff like that. Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30292-0
02:40:47.626 --> 02:40:48.276
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30296-0
02:40:48.326 --> 02:40:49.046
Yes, I'm sorry.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30305-0
02:40:49.146 --> 02:40:50.496
So I didn't look at it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30320-0
02:40:50.506 --> 02:40:55.356
That numbers you're like, oh, I
wanna decrease my disposal.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30324-0
02:40:55.446 --> 02:40:55.816
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30347-0
02:40:55.826 --> 02:41:00.276
The number the the big, the big
one, there is still the unless

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30347-1
02:41:00.276 --> 02:41:02.536
it's huge, but you're not gonna.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30355-0
02:41:02.546 --> 02:41:05.096
But you're talking about pieces
of the MSW, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30359-0
02:41:05.156 --> 02:41:05.876
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30374-0
02:41:05.886 --> 02:41:11.026
So as opposed to it, and you
brought up CMD, which is a huge.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30394-0
02:41:11.376 --> 02:41:14.473
Yeah, I'm not gonna feel
comfortable with it with it,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30394-1
02:41:14.473 --> 02:41:16.136
with the reporting on the CD.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30418-0
02:41:17.156 --> 02:41:21.683
Umm, I mean, I would say that
what we put out is as good as

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30418-1
02:41:21.683 --> 02:41:23.116
what we did, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30431-0
02:41:23.516 --> 02:41:26.316
Yeah, we're limited limited by
the reports that we get in.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30445-0
02:41:26.386 --> 02:41:28.856
Yeah, a lot of that goes to
misspellings, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30465-0
02:41:29.786 --> 02:41:33.796
Well, these reportings come from
the facilities that management

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30465-1
02:41:33.796 --> 02:41:35.926
materials that would be you
know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30484-0
02:41:38.586 --> 02:41:43.516
They're paying a fee on CD right
to the department, isn't it?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30498-0
02:41:43.526 --> 02:41:46.857
$2.00 a ton or something like
that funds the we just went

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30498-1
02:41:46.857 --> 02:41:47.316
through.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30510-0
02:41:47.326 --> 02:41:49.780
All that, yeah, that would be a
good source for that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30510-1
02:41:49.780 --> 02:41:50.336
information.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30521-0
02:41:50.826 --> 02:41:52.756
Yeah, well, that's part of
their.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30571-0
02:41:52.766 --> 02:41:55.691
When they report their times as
yeah, well, they so they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30571-1
02:41:55.691 --> 02:41:58.975
actually they pay the fee, but
they they pay the fee quarterly,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30571-2
02:41:58.975 --> 02:42:02.003
but they do also at the annually
they provide us with what

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30571-3
02:42:02.003 --> 02:42:04.928
they're yeah they're they're
time just for the different

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30571-4
02:42:04.928 --> 02:42:05.646
ways. Streams.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30578-0
02:42:07.966 --> 02:42:09.646
Yeah, I think Vincent has
crosscheck.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30583-0
02:42:09.656 --> 02:42:10.296
It's crosscheck.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30585-0
02:42:10.306 --> 02:42:11.176
That's good.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30587-0
02:42:11.246 --> 02:42:11.936
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30594-0
02:42:12.126 --> 02:42:13.056
Thank you for bringing that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30598-0
02:42:13.746 --> 02:42:13.986
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30613-0
02:42:14.916 --> 02:42:17.375
So probably pretty good then I
guess it's I think that probably

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30613-1
02:42:17.375 --> 02:42:17.836
pretty good.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30626-0
02:42:19.236 --> 02:42:22.506
Yeah, I guess that's my that's
that's not that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30655-0
02:42:22.516 --> 02:42:25.483
That's my kind of my point is
that, you know, you mentioned

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30655-1
02:42:25.483 --> 02:42:27.906
the special waste was that's
also a big mix bag.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30665-0
02:42:28.016 --> 02:42:31.106
Yeah, indeed, which is also a
mixed bag, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30670-0
02:42:31.146 --> 02:42:31.876
It's 500.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30673-0
02:42:32.636 --> 02:42:33.046
Whatever.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30675-0
02:42:33.116 --> 02:42:33.686
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30704-0
02:42:33.776 --> 02:42:41.286
So that's 500 four, 50% of it
just said it was 489,661 times.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30706-0
02:42:41.636 --> 02:42:42.156
I don't know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30711-0
02:42:42.976 --> 02:42:44.136
It's lost a lot.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30713-0
02:42:44.316 --> 02:42:45.046
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30724-0
02:42:45.256 --> 02:42:47.046
Can I ask the group how good
you're doing?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30749-0
02:42:47.216 --> 02:42:52.493
Tires because interestingly, we
don't get many tires in the MSW

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30749-1
02:42:52.493 --> 02:42:55.626
anything, so they're going
somewhere.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30758-0
02:42:56.416 --> 02:42:57.606
They're collection, so I don't.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30764-0
02:42:57.616 --> 02:42:59.086
Walmart is a collection program.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30777-0
02:42:59.096 --> 02:43:02.646
I know the meanest qualities do
collect them and send them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30784-0
02:43:02.656 --> 02:43:03.846
Do you want to talk about tires?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30819-0
02:43:04.576 --> 02:43:09.972
Well, I can tell you I quoted
tire prices this morning to our

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30819-1
02:43:09.972 --> 02:43:15.019
resident who was like $100 to
take, like for car tires to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30819-2
02:43:15.019 --> 02:43:16.586
Riverside. Unlike.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30857-0
02:43:16.736 --> 02:43:21.641
Yeah, it's really there's not
many options in Portland for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30857-1
02:43:21.641 --> 02:43:26.712
tires, but I think we do get a
lot that are illegal dumping,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30857-2
02:43:26.712 --> 02:43:30.786
that we end up paying off. That
would go to eco.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30867-0
02:43:30.796 --> 02:43:33.306
But I don't know what what
people do with them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30885-0
02:43:33.506 --> 02:43:36.394
There's someone out when you're
going to the entire recycling

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30885-1
02:43:36.394 --> 02:43:37.466
facility in Waterville.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30887-0
02:43:37.876 --> 02:43:38.606
BDS.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30891-0
02:43:38.616 --> 02:43:38.886
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30894-0
02:43:39.206 --> 02:43:40.976
Bob is too good place in there.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30942-0
02:43:41.306 --> 02:43:45.052
Just looking at the the reports
that we get Bob settings and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30942-1
02:43:45.052 --> 02:43:48.797
Massachusetts is another big
outlet bobs and JP Ruth here in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30942-2
02:43:48.797 --> 02:43:52.604
Massachusetts it would be is
that they're still in the group,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30942-3
02:43:52.604 --> 02:43:54.876
OK, like tire warehouse must
have a.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30947-0
02:43:55.006 --> 02:43:55.746
It was very sad.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30967-0
02:43:56.126 --> 02:43:59.790
You gonna solve entire they that
that you know they pay a fee for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30967-1
02:43:59.790 --> 02:44:01.456
taking in the old time, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30976-0
02:44:01.466 --> 02:44:02.656
I don't think it's $25.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30984-0
02:44:03.626 --> 02:44:04.526
Yeah, that's right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30993-0
02:44:04.596 --> 02:44:06.686
So riversides pricing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/30996-0
02:44:06.696 --> 02:44:06.986
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31011-0
02:44:06.996 --> 02:44:10.501
And it just went up freezing,
and that's because of the staff

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31011-1
02:44:10.501 --> 02:44:11.066
to handle.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31061-0
02:44:11.226 --> 02:44:14.549
Yeah, actually in volumes or the
the figures I've gotten from

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31061-1
02:44:14.549 --> 02:44:17.391
from BDS tire recycling
recently, they're they're in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31061-2
02:44:17.391 --> 02:44:20.660
Fairfield, I guess at least a
couple of years ago, something

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31061-3
02:44:20.660 --> 02:44:23.769
around the couple dollars
entire, you know picking up you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31061-4
02:44:23.769 --> 02:44:25.056
know hundreds at a time.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31090-0
02:44:25.506 --> 02:44:28.674
So their feet to actually take
the men is is quite a lot lower

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31090-1
02:44:28.674 --> 02:44:30.786
than some of the facilities are
charging.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31095-0
02:44:32.396 --> 02:44:33.036
That's right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31110-0
02:44:34.016 --> 02:44:35.806
I think that there's a lot of
tires getting.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31130-0
02:44:35.896 --> 02:44:38.955
You know, no, I I mean, I'm glad
to hear that we have a nice

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31130-1
02:44:38.955 --> 02:44:39.256
visit.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31151-0
02:44:39.266 --> 02:44:43.123
Really nice facility and we were
involved in Jeffrey and what do

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31151-1
02:44:43.123 --> 02:44:44.606
they do this right? Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31154-0
02:44:44.616 --> 02:44:45.216
What do they have?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31182-0
02:44:45.226 --> 02:44:50.101
They, they, they, they slow
grind it and do what with the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31182-1
02:44:50.101 --> 02:44:54.976
the fuel or they can use it for
number tire derived fuel.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31214-0
02:44:54.986 --> 02:44:58.395
They also make specification
chips to do like layers and and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31214-1
02:44:58.395 --> 02:45:01.804
protective lining layers and
landfills to protect the actual

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31214-2
02:45:01.804 --> 02:45:03.816
membranes and the layer layer
down.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31224-0
02:45:03.826 --> 02:45:05.576
They could be used at French
drains.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31232-0
02:45:05.946 --> 02:45:08.596
It's more granulated than ship
really.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31237-0
02:45:08.676 --> 02:45:08.866
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31251-0
02:45:09.216 --> 02:45:12.036
For the what's cool is that
taken out from that too?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31253-0
02:45:12.196 --> 02:45:12.806
Yeah, cool.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31260-0
02:45:12.816 --> 02:45:15.256
That is that the newer
technology can do that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31266-0
02:45:15.316 --> 02:45:15.926
So it's really good.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31269-0
02:45:16.006 --> 02:45:16.256
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31287-0
02:45:17.946 --> 02:45:20.855
Yeah, they they a lot of them
get used for for Marius, you

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31287-1
02:45:20.855 --> 02:45:22.186
know constructive purposes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31297-0
02:45:22.606 --> 02:45:24.656
Ohh and then they got a whole
program.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31321-0
02:45:24.846 --> 02:45:27.795
Which of course, this audience
will probably appreciate where

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31321-1
02:45:27.795 --> 02:45:29.936
they just get out every time and
then comes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31339-0
02:45:29.946 --> 02:45:32.571
But there's some of them are
actually reusable and some of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31339-1
02:45:32.571 --> 02:45:33.506
them are we together.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31345-0
02:45:33.986 --> 02:45:35.036
So that's the first step.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31356-0
02:45:35.046 --> 02:45:37.946
Those are the first steps which
makes a ton of sense.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31361-0
02:45:38.306 --> 02:45:38.936
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31379-0
02:45:39.526 --> 02:45:43.879
And now they're talking about
RMA rubber modified asphalt but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31379-1
02:45:43.879 --> 02:45:46.126
onto roadways and so forth, too.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31429-0
02:45:46.656 --> 02:45:50.579
You can actually put the tires
into new asphalt as well, so

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31429-1
02:45:50.579 --> 02:45:54.632
it's not so big in main, but I
know for you T is testing some

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31429-2
02:45:54.632 --> 02:45:58.489
of that and it's big in other
states around New England as

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31429-3
02:45:58.489 --> 02:45:58.816
well.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31478-0
02:46:00.106 --> 02:46:03.907
The tires on that, but I think
most people when they get it,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31478-1
02:46:03.907 --> 02:46:08.019
they just it's just it gives the
old ones that give us saying hey

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31478-2
02:46:08.019 --> 02:46:11.758
right, it's just a convenience
thing because they know if I

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31478-3
02:46:11.758 --> 02:46:14.686
take these home and I gotta deal
with alright.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31502-0
02:46:15.586 --> 02:46:18.866
But I mean, if you had a spare
set of winter tires and you sold

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31502-1
02:46:18.866 --> 02:46:20.916
the vehicle, so that's when you
end up.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31518-0
02:46:20.926 --> 02:46:24.796
Yeah, that's what they end up on
washing today.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31527-0
02:46:25.456 --> 02:46:27.146
And those tires might still be
good.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31529-0
02:46:27.286 --> 02:46:28.456
Some of them are.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31535-0
02:46:28.466 --> 02:46:29.676
Yeah, you'd be surprised.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31548-0
02:46:29.686 --> 02:46:33.799
They go to facility that ends up
starting through a finished

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31548-1
02:46:33.799 --> 02:46:34.136
well.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31588-0
02:46:34.146 --> 02:46:38.033
We we got a lot we we had the
police car and the seven months

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31588-1
02:46:38.033 --> 02:46:42.045
we ran to get tires and what has
happened is they were going to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31588-2
02:46:42.045 --> 02:46:45.556
the transfer stations where
they're coming from, right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31591-0
02:46:45.566 --> 02:46:46.196
And they were.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31620-0
02:46:46.206 --> 02:46:50.838
Because what they want to or it
will be there just, but it's on

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31620-1
02:46:50.838 --> 02:46:55.542
the unacceptable list and we we
gave 3 warnings and then created

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31620-2
02:46:55.542 --> 02:46:55.976
a fee.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31623-0
02:46:57.406 --> 02:46:57.686
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31639-0
02:46:57.696 --> 02:47:00.173
And that because you can't throw
stuff back, but you get rid of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31639-1
02:47:00.173 --> 02:47:00.366
them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31649-0
02:47:00.406 --> 02:47:01.386
You, you, you could.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31656-0
02:47:01.906 --> 02:47:03.326
You don't want to get rid of,
right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31672-0
02:47:03.336 --> 02:47:05.466
And so we have to transfer and
that's what most do.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31709-0
02:47:05.476 --> 02:47:09.007
Most transfer stations back when
we looked at when we did this to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31709-1
02:47:09.007 --> 02:47:12.056
the survey, it was between
anywhere from 3 to $10 a tire

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31709-2
02:47:12.056 --> 02:47:14.196
pending on whether it had a rim
or not.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31741-0
02:47:14.206 --> 02:47:18.647
And then most folks, had it been
of some sort with this, with the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31741-1
02:47:18.647 --> 02:47:22.146
tire placing variable, but we we
got a ton of them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31780-0
02:47:22.236 --> 02:47:26.584
It just had to be because it was
cheaper and rather than have two

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31780-1
02:47:26.584 --> 02:47:30.603
different groups of ways, just
throwing your MSA you know so

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31780-2
02:47:30.603 --> 02:47:32.316
well, we're going to hurt.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31803-0
02:47:32.326 --> 02:47:35.085
You know, they had equipment
that wasn't, you know, optimal

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31803-1
02:47:35.085 --> 02:47:37.936
for tire shredding, but could
tolerate small number of tires.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31819-0
02:47:37.946 --> 02:47:40.286
OK, so they had a way to deal
with it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31828-0
02:47:40.296 --> 02:47:41.696
Then they were just, you know,
boiler fuel.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31830-0
02:47:41.706 --> 02:47:43.376
But that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31840-0
02:47:43.386 --> 02:47:45.486
Yeah, that's that's that
facility specifically.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31846-0
02:47:45.496 --> 02:47:46.586
But not every facility.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31858-0
02:47:46.596 --> 02:47:49.746
So no, but that's the importance
of policing your waist.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31887-0
02:47:49.756 --> 02:47:52.741
Because actually when it was
going to perk, it was still our

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31887-1
02:47:52.741 --> 02:47:54.846
waist and it was on the
unacceptable list.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31927-0
02:47:54.916 --> 02:47:58.079
There was a lot of stuff on the
unacceptable list, but there's a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31927-1
02:47:58.079 --> 02:48:01.096
big difference from burning and
it's still going into the use

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31927-2
02:48:01.096 --> 02:48:03.967
and it wasn't just police, so
that was a whole reeducation

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31927-3
02:48:03.967 --> 02:48:04.356
program.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31941-0
02:48:04.366 --> 02:48:07.364
When I started with the MRC is
well, you shouldn't be sending

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31941-1
02:48:07.364 --> 02:48:07.606
this.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31948-0
02:48:07.616 --> 02:48:08.996
Well, I've been sending 20
years.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31964-0
02:48:10.036 --> 02:48:14.776
You, you know, they told me to
put it on the top of the load.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31968-0
02:48:14.786 --> 02:48:15.336
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31975-0
02:48:15.376 --> 02:48:19.626
So by no always on top.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31999-0
02:48:20.806 --> 02:48:23.968
I'm just going to know that we
have less than 15 minutes left

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/31999-1
02:48:23.968 --> 02:48:26.416
and I think my laptop is
probably going to die.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32013-0
02:48:26.426 --> 02:48:29.776
So our talking points may go
away in a few minutes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32019-0
02:48:29.786 --> 02:48:30.676
The meeting will stay on.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32034-0
02:48:30.886 --> 02:48:33.826
Believe in the limo was jumping
into this.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32040-0
02:48:35.156 --> 02:48:36.546
I forget what happens happens.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32058-0
02:48:37.286 --> 02:48:38.166
See you, Alina.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32062-0
02:48:39.076 --> 02:48:40.986
I just wanna make sure the tire
discussion is over.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32065-0
02:48:42.076 --> 02:48:42.526
Yep.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32068-0
02:48:42.576 --> 02:48:42.946
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32071-0
02:48:42.956 --> 02:48:43.056
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32142-0
02:48:44.066 --> 02:48:48.453
Am I a couple of times the cost
of getting rid of things at the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32078-0
02:48:44.896 --> 02:48:45.416
Speak up.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32142-1
02:48:48.453 --> 02:48:52.908
transfer station came up and I'm
wondering if anyone can speak a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32142-2
02:48:52.908 --> 02:48:57.020
little bit about how it works
when and it's probably varies

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32142-3
02:48:57.020 --> 02:49:01.407
from place to place like either
a third party is hired or or or

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32142-4
02:49:01.407 --> 02:49:04.971
a contractor is hired to run a
transfer station for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32142-5
02:49:04.971 --> 02:49:07.096
municipality or a municipality.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32152-0
02:49:08.166 --> 02:49:11.216
Contracts with a private
transfer station.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32150-0
02:49:09.256 --> 02:49:09.436
Yep.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32158-0
02:49:11.616 --> 02:49:13.196
How does the pricing work?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32170-0
02:49:15.876 --> 02:49:18.266
So I think this will answer your
question.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32173-0
02:49:18.276 --> 02:49:19.446
Is a transfer station.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32252-0
02:49:19.456 --> 02:49:23.422
Will have several bins and those
bins are provided by the hauler,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32252-1
02:49:23.422 --> 02:49:26.907
and they have a formula that
they can figure out how many

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32252-2
02:49:26.907 --> 02:49:30.572
tires fit in that bin in that
particular vendor charged, and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32252-3
02:49:30.572 --> 02:49:33.876
by the time, or if it's
mattresses or bulky, they know

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32252-4
02:49:33.876 --> 02:49:37.361
what their accounting is for
mattresses and bulkiest, and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32252-5
02:49:37.361 --> 02:49:40.666
they have that formula to know
what that average been.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32315-0
02:49:40.676 --> 02:49:44.332
It's so it might be $2550 a
mattress because they know that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32315-1
02:49:44.332 --> 02:49:48.109
they're going to pay $110 a ton
for bulk keys in that average

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32315-2
02:49:48.109 --> 02:49:51.704
container when it leads there
with Hall, and it's going to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32315-3
02:49:51.704 --> 02:49:55.116
cost them, you know, $500.00 or
just for rough numbers.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32341-0
02:49:55.126 --> 02:49:58.632
So most transfer stations are
run by the municipality and they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32341-1
02:49:58.632 --> 02:50:01.136
just have a selection of roll
off dumpsters.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32405-0
02:50:01.146 --> 02:50:04.592
I mean, most of the MSW is is is
configured to the MRC and those

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32405-1
02:50:04.592 --> 02:50:08.038
are going in compactors or some
other kind of container, but all

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32405-2
02:50:08.038 --> 02:50:11.378
those other types of waste, in
my experience, most of the time

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32405-3
02:50:11.378 --> 02:50:14.399
going into different block
containers and they know what

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32405-4
02:50:14.399 --> 02:50:17.156
the time, which is the average
time is going to be.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32423-0
02:50:17.166 --> 02:50:20.448
That's how they know what the
charge for those items and and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32423-1
02:50:20.448 --> 02:50:21.686
that works, that works.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32432-0
02:50:22.336 --> 02:50:23.106
Yeah, that makes sense.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32474-0
02:50:23.116 --> 02:50:25.789
If if the transfer station is
trying to cover their

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32474-1
02:50:25.789 --> 02:50:28.718
operational cost, cost of
disposal, cost of staffing and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32474-2
02:50:28.718 --> 02:50:31.545
stuff like that, we discussed
pricing a lot during our

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32474-3
02:50:31.545 --> 02:50:34.166
training sessions with transfer
station operators.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32510-0
02:50:34.816 --> 02:50:38.273
We don't get involved in the
prices that they charge, but we

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32510-1
02:50:38.273 --> 02:50:41.616
find that, you know, some
transfer stations in rural areas

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32510-2
02:50:41.616 --> 02:50:43.996
where I'm illegal dumping is
really easy.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32547-0
02:50:44.406 --> 02:50:47.290
We'll often charge less than it
costs them to handle the ways to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32547-1
02:50:47.290 --> 02:50:49.952
fund the rest through taxes,
because if they set the prices

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32547-2
02:50:49.952 --> 02:50:52.436
too high, it provides an
incentive for illegal dumping.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32597-0
02:50:52.446 --> 02:50:55.132
So there's a there are a lot of
factors that come into play

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32597-1
02:50:55.132 --> 02:50:57.550
depending on where the
facilities are located and how

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32597-2
02:50:57.550 --> 02:51:00.325
easy it is to get away with, you
know, alternative strategies

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32597-3
02:51:00.325 --> 02:51:02.116
instead of paying and transfer
station.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32659-0
02:51:02.126 --> 02:51:04.707
So sometimes just eat it and
factor it into taxes because

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32659-1
02:51:04.707 --> 02:51:07.422
they know it's going to end up
on the roads and public works

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32659-2
02:51:07.422 --> 02:51:10.360
crews will have to pick it up at
at greater expense as opposed to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32659-3
02:51:10.360 --> 02:51:12.897
just maybe not charging or
charging less of the transfer

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32659-4
02:51:12.897 --> 02:51:14.766
station that haven't handled it
once off.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32686-0
02:51:14.776 --> 02:51:18.810
So it's it's very interesting
what one of our experience we

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32675-0
02:51:18.386 --> 02:51:18.586
Right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32686-1
02:51:18.810 --> 02:51:22.776
noticed from going around is
it's just not updated enough.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32690-0
02:51:22.786 --> 02:51:23.146
They don't.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32735-0
02:51:23.156 --> 02:51:27.520
They don't look at it enough and
a lot of them like they'd have

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32735-1
02:51:27.520 --> 02:51:31.817
the same price list that have
been there for five or six years

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32735-2
02:51:31.817 --> 02:51:32.976
to somebody, wow.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32750-0
02:51:33.046 --> 02:51:36.576
I don't think my question was I
wasn't clear on my question.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32781-0
02:51:37.386 --> 02:51:41.520
What I was hoping to understand
is so most transfer stations are

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32781-1
02:51:41.520 --> 02:51:45.019
run by municipalities, some
municipalities contract an

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32781-2
02:51:45.019 --> 02:51:47.436
entity to run their transfer
station.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32791-0
02:51:48.196 --> 02:51:52.066
Other municipalities contract
with a private transfer station.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32831-0
02:51:53.036 --> 02:51:59.807
In those cases, I'm wondering
and how the contracting to what

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32831-1
02:51:59.807 --> 02:52:05.813
extent the contracting talks
about dictates completely

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32807-0
02:52:01.066 --> 02:52:01.206
And.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32831-2
02:52:05.813 --> 02:52:12.474
ignores those charges that a
resident sees when they show up

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32831-3
02:52:12.474 --> 02:52:14.986
to get rid of material.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32835-0
02:52:15.036 --> 02:52:15.836
Does that make sense?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32870-0
02:52:17.506 --> 02:52:23.410
So, like so, Portland has a
contract with Riverside, right

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32847-0
02:52:17.876 --> 02:52:19.106
Yeah, I think.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32870-1
02:52:23.410 --> 02:52:29.715
and Riverside charges 20 bucks
for a television do you said 25

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32853-0
02:52:23.696 --> 02:52:23.986
Right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32870-2
02:52:29.715 --> 02:52:31.416
bucks for a tire?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32874-0
02:52:31.426 --> 02:52:32.026
All of that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32887-0
02:52:32.236 --> 02:52:36.756
So so is in Portland contract
with Riverside.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32893-0
02:52:36.836 --> 02:52:38.786
Does it say you can charge
residents?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32903-0
02:52:38.796 --> 02:52:41.766
This does it say what does it?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32910-0
02:52:41.776 --> 02:52:43.186
Does it not talk about it at
all?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32917-0
02:52:43.196 --> 02:52:43.956
How does that work?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32930-0
02:52:45.416 --> 02:52:48.706
Riverside gets to set their own
prices.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32969-0
02:52:48.996 --> 02:52:55.271
Portland owns the transportation
land and the contract is for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32969-1
02:52:55.271 --> 02:53:01.749
CPRC to run it, but they get to
set their own prices, which for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/32969-2
02:53:01.749 --> 02:53:05.696
many many years was not even an
issue.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33005-0
02:53:07.376 --> 02:53:12.146
For most residents, but since
COVID and the swing in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33005-1
02:53:12.146 --> 02:53:17.186
commodities prices and whatnot,
then Riverside has made

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33005-2
02:53:17.186 --> 02:53:22.856
adjustments based on their needs
of getting disposing of those

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33005-3
02:53:22.856 --> 02:53:23.936
those items.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33022-0
02:53:23.946 --> 02:53:27.766
But it's not a contract is
pretty old, so it's not.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33037-0
02:53:27.906 --> 02:53:30.866
It wasn't something that came
into play that I know of.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33053-0
02:53:32.296 --> 02:53:35.093
So if Riverside decided that
tomorrow they're going to charge

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33053-1
02:53:35.093 --> 02:53:36.086
100 bucks, they could.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33063-0
02:53:36.096 --> 02:53:37.986
You just might not reap your
contract with them.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33073-0
02:53:37.996 --> 02:53:38.736
Is that sort of?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33079-0
02:53:39.966 --> 02:53:41.446
Well, that's way above my pay
grade.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33100-0
02:53:43.586 --> 02:53:50.549
I mean, ultimately they are
setting the price for the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33100-1
02:53:50.549 --> 02:53:54.546
disposal of items and the city.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33156-0
02:53:56.026 --> 02:53:59.839
I don't know a lot of the ends
and outs of the specific

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33156-1
02:53:59.839 --> 02:54:03.993
contract or what I do do is
explain how the pricing works or

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33156-2
02:54:03.993 --> 02:54:07.875
what pricing is to residents
when they have an item that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33156-3
02:54:07.875 --> 02:54:11.416
they're like, OK, I really need
to dispose of this.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33159-0
02:54:11.426 --> 02:54:12.336
What do I do?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33166-0
02:54:12.346 --> 02:54:13.836
What would the price be?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33188-0
02:54:14.346 --> 02:54:19.053
And a lot of that goes into like
if it's a tonnage fee versus

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33188-1
02:54:19.053 --> 02:54:21.786
what's in the back of your
vehicle.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33205-0
02:54:23.386 --> 02:54:27.486
But the city doesn't have a lot
of stay at this point.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33240-0
02:54:27.986 --> 02:54:33.591
In what pricing is set at with
their the company whose contract

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33240-1
02:54:33.591 --> 02:54:39.196
from the facility you don't know
about other subcontractors for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33240-2
02:54:39.196 --> 02:54:42.436
transfer stations and their
pricing?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33244-0
02:54:43.286 --> 02:54:43.966
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33259-0
02:54:44.046 --> 02:54:46.806
And we don't have good data on
that, Elena, because we don't

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33259-1
02:54:46.806 --> 02:54:47.756
regulate the pricing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33308-0
02:54:48.066 --> 02:54:51.236
So unless I happen to see a
pricing sheet or or you know

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33308-1
02:54:51.236 --> 02:54:54.350
field questions during the
training sessions, we rarely

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33308-2
02:54:54.350 --> 02:54:57.520
know what the municipalities or
or you know whether they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33308-3
02:54:57.520 --> 02:54:59.466
contract out or run it
themselves.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33362-0
02:54:59.476 --> 02:55:02.269
We rarely know what they're
actually charging for anything

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33362-1
02:55:02.269 --> 02:55:05.204
unless we get a a call from a
citizen asking and complaining,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33362-2
02:55:05.204 --> 02:55:08.234
and they say the price is this
and I don't like it or we see it

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33362-3
02:55:08.234 --> 02:55:10.696
on a on a municipal website or
something like that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33371-0
02:55:10.706 --> 02:55:13.116
But that's not something that we
regulate or track.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33393-0
02:55:13.126 --> 02:55:16.084
So we really have, unless it
comes up specifically in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33393-1
02:55:16.084 --> 02:55:19.096
conversation, we often have no
idea what they charged.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33477-0
02:55:20.546 --> 02:55:25.948
I am asked sometimes about other
doing customer service, other

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33477-1
02:55:25.948 --> 02:55:30.663
disposal options from a resident
like is there another

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33477-2
02:55:30.663 --> 02:55:35.893
possibility, in which case I
will give out eco means tonnage

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33477-3
02:55:35.893 --> 02:55:41.381
and pricing along with CASELLAS
because technically anybody can

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33477-4
02:55:41.381 --> 02:55:46.354
go to any of those facilities
but we try not to encourage

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33477-5
02:55:46.354 --> 02:55:51.841
residents to go to go for random
little things because it's not

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33477-6
02:55:51.841 --> 02:55:54.156
what their facility is for.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33487-0
02:55:54.276 --> 02:55:55.826
That's to go to Riverside.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33494-0
02:55:56.806 --> 02:55:57.976
We appreciate that, by the way.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33499-0
02:55:57.986 --> 02:55:58.716
Yes, yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33526-0
02:55:58.726 --> 02:56:02.671
And I like to explain that that
means you're a little vehicle is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33526-1
02:56:02.671 --> 02:56:06.556
sitting in line with all those
big city trash trucks and stuff.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33607-0
02:56:06.726 --> 02:56:11.649
So it is issue so but that's my
only option is to OfferUp the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33607-1
02:56:11.649 --> 02:56:16.572
two others who you do not have
to be a resident to dispose as

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33607-2
02:56:16.572 --> 02:56:21.574
long as you're going to pay a
fee and it's random weird things

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33607-3
02:56:21.574 --> 02:56:26.418
that have gone to somebody who
would say, Oh well, maybe eco

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33607-4
02:56:26.418 --> 02:56:31.420
and the waste of energy would be
a better option for this item

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33607-5
02:56:31.420 --> 02:56:31.976
versus.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33621-0
02:56:33.536 --> 02:56:38.056
Going to the landfill or
whatever, Shelby, you're on.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33641-0
02:56:40.816 --> 02:56:42.556
You're also the, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33631-0
02:56:41.126 --> 02:56:41.966
Thanks, Jim.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33710-0
02:56:42.046 --> 02:56:46.246
So I just wanted to say like
from my perspective of serving

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33710-1
02:56:46.246 --> 02:56:50.586
on town council for 10 years in
Hamden and seeing the budgets

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33656-0
02:56:47.036 --> 02:56:47.206
And.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33710-2
02:56:50.586 --> 02:56:54.646
that run through and the
decisions that the Councils make

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33710-3
02:56:54.646 --> 02:56:59.126
based on waste disposal fees and
what to charge at the transfer

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33710-4
02:56:59.126 --> 02:57:03.606
station, sometimes there is no
alignment with what the transfer

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33710-5
02:57:03.606 --> 02:57:07.946
station charges for fees and
what the actual cost of disposal

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33710-6
02:57:07.946 --> 02:57:08.156
is.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33718-0
02:57:08.726 --> 02:57:09.916
I've seen this over the years.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33770-0
02:57:11.456 --> 02:57:16.568
Hamden gets a has a transfer
station, Casella Halls or I mean

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33770-1
02:57:16.568 --> 02:57:20.937
it's facade waste in our
recycling, but the transfer

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33770-2
02:57:20.937 --> 02:57:25.884
station is run by the Public
Works Department and we charge

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33770-3
02:57:25.884 --> 02:57:30.336
residents $25 for MSW and $100
for bulky item a year.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33789-0
02:57:30.746 --> 02:57:35.117
That doesn't even come close to
the cost of the operational

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33789-1
02:57:35.117 --> 02:57:37.376
budget of the transfer station.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33817-0
02:57:37.706 --> 02:57:42.918
But the Council sees that as the
opportunity to pull from the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33817-1
02:57:42.918 --> 02:57:48.213
property tax base and not put
any other owners or financing on

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33817-2
02:57:48.213 --> 02:57:49.306
the citizens.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33864-0
02:57:49.706 --> 02:57:53.928
So oftentimes you're councils
and your public works directors

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33864-1
02:57:53.928 --> 02:57:58.150
put together those budgets, not
focusing on the actual costs,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33841-0
02:57:55.006 --> 02:57:55.226
This.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33864-2
02:57:58.150 --> 02:58:02.100
but what they think is the
municipality can bear that the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33864-3
02:58:02.100 --> 02:58:04.756
citizens will will tolerate
basically.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33867-0
02:58:11.396 --> 02:58:11.966
Tony Smith.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33931-0
02:58:14.536 --> 02:58:21.513
Hi, the town of Mount Desert and
the other five AD towns contract

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33931-1
02:58:21.513 --> 02:58:28.491
separate contracts per town with
the privately owned and operated

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33931-2
02:58:28.491 --> 02:58:34.623
transfer station down in
Southwest Harbor and the town of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33931-3
02:58:34.623 --> 02:58:40.754
Mount Desert has its own
curbside collection for for MSW,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33931-4
02:58:40.754 --> 02:58:44.666
and that's paid for by the tax
base.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33936-0
02:58:44.876 --> 02:58:45.186
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33957-0
02:58:45.116 --> 02:58:50.847
A citizen can a property owner
can take MSW to the transfer

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33945-0
02:58:50.156 --> 02:58:50.416
You know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33957-1
02:58:50.847 --> 02:58:55.146
station and throw it into an
identified bin.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33965-0
02:58:55.156 --> 02:58:57.286
Mount Desert, Trenton, Tremont
whomever.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34045-0
02:58:58.606 --> 02:59:03.683
And then that gets weighed and
we get a a monthly bill which

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/33980-0
02:59:00.726 --> 02:59:00.946
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34045-1
02:59:03.683 --> 02:59:08.760
includes Packer, truck tonnage
in the tonnages the homeowner

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34045-2
02:59:08.760 --> 02:59:14.004
dropped off for the rest of the
garbage the like a couch chair

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34045-3
02:59:14.004 --> 02:59:18.498
would waste whatever it goes
across the scales and is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34045-4
02:59:18.498 --> 02:59:23.575
measured and the time will pay
for up to 2000 pounds of that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34024-0
02:59:18.576 --> 02:59:18.886
Issue.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34045-5
02:59:23.575 --> 02:59:25.906
material beyond 2000 pounds.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34077-0
02:59:25.916 --> 02:59:30.721
The property owners responsible
to pay for that each town has

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34077-1
02:59:30.721 --> 02:59:35.216
its own contract with the
transfer station for five years

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34077-2
02:59:35.216 --> 02:59:38.626
and the costs are agreed upon
for year one.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34097-0
02:59:38.636 --> 02:59:42.817
And then they're all subject to
a CPI increase in January of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34095-0
02:59:41.706 --> 02:59:41.866
It's.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34097-1
02:59:42.817 --> 02:59:43.776
January, July.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34110-0
02:59:43.786 --> 02:59:50.116
I can't remember for for each of
the other items. Uh.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34109-0
02:59:47.746 --> 02:59:47.996
Yes.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34120-0
02:59:52.286 --> 02:59:54.396
That's about it for private.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34130-0
02:59:54.406 --> 02:59:55.576
Let that again, that's.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34163-0
02:59:55.586 --> 03:00:00.037
That's a privately owned uh
transfer station and I think I

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34163-1
03:00:00.037 --> 03:00:04.639
might have mentioned the 2nd
Saturday of the month of people

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34163-2
03:00:04.639 --> 03:00:09.166
are allowed to take E waste into
the facility for disposal.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34169-0
03:00:12.096 --> 03:00:12.456
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34170-0
03:00:13.516 --> 03:00:14.106
Thanks, darling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34178-0
03:00:16.816 --> 03:00:17.866
That was very helpful, Tony.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34180-0
03:00:17.876 --> 03:00:18.196
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34188-0
03:00:24.546 --> 03:00:25.626
We'll work our clock.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34247-0
03:00:27.766 --> 03:00:32.479
But if anybody has anything else
that they want to discuss that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34247-1
03:00:32.479 --> 03:00:36.897
we haven't haven't haven't
hasn't come up yet and I think I

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34247-2
03:00:36.897 --> 03:00:41.536
have one thing and I know Eric
and I have emailed about winter

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34247-3
03:00:41.536 --> 03:00:45.586
household hazardous waste does
not exist in the state.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34249-0
03:00:45.596 --> 03:00:45.896
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34255-0
03:00:46.656 --> 03:00:48.436
Uh, it is.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34287-0
03:00:49.746 --> 03:00:54.463
It is an issue at times because,
like Riverside, only has a very

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34287-1
03:00:54.463 --> 03:00:59.034
small facility to house stuff
over the winter and some of that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34287-2
03:00:59.034 --> 03:01:00.776
is for the municipality.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34325-0
03:01:01.026 --> 03:01:06.237
But there is a there are a lot
of residence who move in or out

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34325-1
03:01:06.237 --> 03:01:11.449
of at least Portland proper that
I talked to, who show up at a

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34325-2
03:01:11.449 --> 03:01:13.186
house that is filled.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34356-0
03:01:13.196 --> 03:01:17.495
The real estate agent didn't get
it donned out, didn't realize

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34356-1
03:01:17.495 --> 03:01:21.725
that paint and pesticides and
all of that couldn't just go in

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34356-2
03:01:21.725 --> 03:01:22.476
the winter.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34383-0
03:01:23.396 --> 03:01:27.974
That's the one thing that we
even we talked about maybe like

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34383-1
03:01:27.974 --> 03:01:31.726
once a winter housing like
having somebody do it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34392-0
03:01:34.596 --> 03:01:38.506
But it's nothing I can get
traction on quite yet.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34425-0
03:01:38.586 --> 03:01:42.646
I just keep making notes of how
many people are calling and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34425-1
03:01:42.646 --> 03:01:46.909
questioning because the Lewiston
facility doesn't do it in the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34425-2
03:01:46.909 --> 03:01:47.856
winter either.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34428-0
03:01:47.866 --> 03:01:48.656
Nobody does.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34462-0
03:01:49.426 --> 03:01:55.299
Uh, so it's something that would
be helpful, even if it's a once

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34462-1
03:01:55.299 --> 03:02:00.450
a year thing in one or two
different places in the state

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34462-2
03:02:00.450 --> 03:02:02.076
during the winter.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34480-0
03:02:02.626 --> 03:02:06.227
Do you think something like the
Oxley Pesticide Collection is

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34480-1
03:02:06.227 --> 03:02:08.376
once a year and it's in four
places?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34497-0
03:02:08.426 --> 03:02:14.176
So I think it's like Augusta,
Bangor, Portland and offices.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34499-0
03:02:14.186 --> 03:02:14.516
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34503-0
03:02:14.526 --> 03:02:14.756
OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34505-0
03:02:15.186 --> 03:02:15.496
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34519-0
03:02:15.506 --> 03:02:18.367
So something like that might be
helpful if we get it might be

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34519-1
03:02:18.367 --> 03:02:18.736
helpful.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34523-0
03:02:18.746 --> 03:02:19.116
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34547-0
03:02:19.126 --> 03:02:23.366
And I think if Portland is doing
it, it's not being publicized

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34547-1
03:02:23.366 --> 03:02:27.336
very much because I don't even
know that talking about it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34563-0
03:02:27.346 --> 03:02:30.426
And I tell everybody about where
to send their waste to.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34590-0
03:02:31.356 --> 03:02:36.726
Umm, because that first Saturday
of the month is hazardous, waste

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34590-1
03:02:36.726 --> 03:02:40.306
drop off and a lot of people are
traveling.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34595-0
03:02:40.316 --> 03:02:41.766
They they're moving out.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34603-0
03:02:41.776 --> 03:02:43.126
They don't want to hold it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34635-0
03:02:43.596 --> 03:02:48.215
That, yeah, I think I would love
to know about those types of

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34635-1
03:02:48.215 --> 03:02:52.686
things or have us included if
there's a southern one there.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34642-0
03:02:52.696 --> 03:02:53.796
Yeah, there's registration.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34651-0
03:02:53.806 --> 03:02:55.926
I think that registration might
be now.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34657-0
03:02:55.936 --> 03:02:56.886
It's or is it October?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34685-0
03:02:57.086 --> 03:03:00.620
Yeah, they they email you the
they they have their collections

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34685-1
03:03:00.620 --> 03:03:03.818
usually happen sometime in
October, usually mid October,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34685-2
03:03:03.818 --> 03:03:03.986
OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34698-0
03:03:04.026 --> 03:03:07.159
And the Board of Pesticide
Control website has the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34698-1
03:03:07.159 --> 03:03:07.896
information.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34706-0
03:03:07.906 --> 03:03:10.196
Did you have to pre register to
drop things off?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34717-0
03:03:10.606 --> 03:03:13.326
What they're you know, what's
coming into the airport?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34740-0
03:03:14.106 --> 03:03:17.845
Umm, it's generally for unusable
or obsolete pesticides and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34740-1
03:03:17.845 --> 03:03:21.210
screen board of Pesticide
Control has money for that,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34740-2
03:03:21.210 --> 03:03:21.896
apparently.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34744-0
03:03:22.266 --> 03:03:22.946
OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34774-0
03:03:23.276 --> 03:03:27.294
But they don't usually announce
the exact dates and stuff until

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34774-1
03:03:27.294 --> 03:03:31.374
probably odd about this time of
year August, early September and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34774-2
03:03:31.374 --> 03:03:33.006
collections in in October.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34783-0
03:03:33.116 --> 03:03:34.686
OK, it is limited though.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34794-0
03:03:34.696 --> 03:03:37.146
If there, there's a cap for each
event, right?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34797-0
03:03:37.226 --> 03:03:37.716
Umm.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34799-0
03:03:38.006 --> 03:03:38.516
Full stop.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34804-0
03:03:39.026 --> 03:03:40.336
Yeah, I don't know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34812-0
03:03:40.746 --> 03:03:41.766
I don't know about that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34831-0
03:03:41.776 --> 03:03:43.822
I I just know you have to
preregister and that may be what

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34831-1
03:03:43.822 --> 03:03:44.516
they get rid of the.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34847-0
03:03:44.676 --> 03:03:47.122
Yeah, there's probably some
limit to what transport, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34847-1
03:03:47.122 --> 03:03:48.796
I'll take large quantities from
farms.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34856-0
03:03:48.806 --> 03:03:51.526
Will take 55 gallon drums, but
that's a limit to what?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34869-0
03:03:51.896 --> 03:03:54.925
OK, I think it's funded from
pesticides sales, is that

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34869-1
03:03:54.925 --> 03:03:55.366
correct?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34877-0
03:03:55.516 --> 03:03:56.226
I get out of jail.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34930-0
03:03:56.446 --> 03:04:01.214
Thank the other because the OK,
let's not that we have pesticide

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34930-1
03:04:01.214 --> 03:04:05.983
use in Portland, but that's part
of the problem is if we created

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34930-2
03:04:05.983 --> 03:04:09.797
this law rule that pesticides
can't be used in now,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34930-3
03:04:09.797 --> 03:04:14.566
everybody's like, oh, well, what
do I do with all my crap in the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34930-4
03:04:14.566 --> 03:04:15.226
basement?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34958-0
03:04:18.596 --> 03:04:21.986
Elena, your hand, is it a recent
race or?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34959-0
03:04:22.636 --> 03:04:24.326
It's intentionally up and I'll
be really quick.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34975-0
03:04:24.336 --> 03:04:29.644
I just am wondering, I've seen
I've only seen one municipal

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34975-1
03:04:29.644 --> 03:04:30.706
budget that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34999-0
03:04:32.156 --> 03:04:36.491
Made clear the amount spent on
household hazardous waste

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34990-0
03:04:35.006 --> 03:04:35.346
Nothing.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/34999-1
03:04:36.491 --> 03:04:39.686
relative to the total solid
waste budget.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35011-0
03:04:39.836 --> 03:04:42.866
And I'm wondering if you have
that cause I was stunned.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35015-0
03:04:42.876 --> 03:04:44.046
How small it was.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35026-0
03:04:47.756 --> 03:04:49.316
I'm I'm speaking to the woman in
Portland.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35038-0
03:04:49.326 --> 03:04:50.466
Or anyone else for that matter.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35057-0
03:04:51.066 --> 03:04:55.635
So I can tell you that each of
the event in Portland, they host

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35057-1
03:04:55.635 --> 03:04:58.276
it monthly and clean harbors is
the.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35089-0
03:05:00.326 --> 03:05:06.169
Transporter the collector for
the hazardous waste and each one

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35089-1
03:05:06.169 --> 03:05:11.827
is about 12 to 15,000 every
month, and the residents have to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35089-2
03:05:11.827 --> 03:05:13.496
pay the residents.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35108-0
03:05:13.546 --> 03:05:17.637
If you're not a Portland
resident, you have to pay, but

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35108-1
03:05:17.637 --> 03:05:21.436
any of the surrounding towns,
everybody goes to it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35120-0
03:05:21.446 --> 03:05:22.756
It's not just Portland.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35137-0
03:05:22.766 --> 03:05:25.790
Most we refer people from all
over the state to exactly

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35137-1
03:05:25.790 --> 03:05:27.896
because those are the only two
places.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35163-0
03:05:27.936 --> 03:05:32.575
So yeah, so it's about 12 to
15,000 per month that Portland,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35163-1
03:05:32.575 --> 03:05:37.137
the City of Portland, pays and
then Portland residents also

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35163-2
03:05:37.137 --> 03:05:38.886
pay, and they drop off.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35170-0
03:05:38.896 --> 03:05:39.706
Yes, OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35198-0
03:05:40.456 --> 03:05:44.594
If you're a resident Portland
resident with your card, you get

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35198-1
03:05:44.594 --> 03:05:48.076
you can drop off 2/5 gallon
units per year for free.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35206-0
03:05:48.816 --> 03:05:51.106
But if you're not a Portland
resident, you pay.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35245-0
03:05:51.716 --> 03:05:55.657
The 6:50 a pound or solids and
3:50 a now 650 a gallon for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35245-1
03:05:55.657 --> 03:05:59.465
liquids and 3:50 a pound for
solids I think was the last

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35245-2
03:05:59.465 --> 03:05:59.866
child.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35269-0
03:05:59.876 --> 03:06:04.142
Yeah, but if you're a tenant in
an apartment or a rental unit,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35269-1
03:06:04.142 --> 03:06:05.226
you have to pay.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35273-0
03:06:05.336 --> 03:06:06.196
Yeah, right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35317-0
03:06:06.206 --> 03:06:10.616
Just basically just just the the
property owner gets so the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35317-1
03:06:10.616 --> 03:06:14.879
apartment unit they're if it's
under 19 units, OK, single

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35317-2
03:06:14.879 --> 03:06:19.216
family up to 19 units get the
free disposal of 10 gallons.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35320-0
03:06:19.256 --> 03:06:19.776
So it's great.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35325-0
03:06:20.356 --> 03:06:23.116
Yeah. Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35330-0
03:06:23.826 --> 03:06:24.816
Don't you wanna pitch in?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35337-0
03:06:27.756 --> 03:06:28.606
Yeah, real quick.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35385-0
03:06:28.616 --> 03:06:33.632
Our annual household houses this
waste E waste collection is by

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35385-1
03:06:33.632 --> 03:06:38.099
the unit 20 pounds, or five
gallons, and that budget for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35367-0
03:06:35.856 --> 03:06:38.256
This yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35385-2
03:06:38.099 --> 03:06:42.331
where you know time mount
Desert, that was a separate

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35385-3
03:06:42.331 --> 03:06:47.269
budget line from solid waste and
the solid waste line included

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35385-4
03:06:47.269 --> 03:06:47.896
MSW and.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35395-0
03:06:49.356 --> 03:06:53.686
Stumps everything else, but
yeah, so.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35401-0
03:06:53.696 --> 03:06:56.276
So we do break out the hazardous
E waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35427-0
03:06:57.846 --> 03:07:00.986
Portion of the of the salt of
the waste waste stream.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35413-0
03:06:58.996 --> 03:06:59.156
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35422-0
03:07:01.616 --> 03:07:02.646
Do you think you winced?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35452-0
03:07:02.216 --> 03:07:08.976
My household hazardous waste and
E waste is one line.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35444-0
03:07:02.686 --> 03:07:06.636
Or hazardous waste, household
hazardous waste. But.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35450-0
03:07:10.086 --> 03:07:10.326
I'm just.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35466-0
03:07:11.056 --> 03:07:13.336
You don't separate the household
hazardous waste from the waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35482-0
03:07:15.616 --> 03:07:18.346
Not in the budget line, but it's
paid for differently.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35530-0
03:07:18.356 --> 03:07:21.582
For years, we didn't have to pay
for the E waste, the last three

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35530-1
03:07:21.582 --> 03:07:24.460
or four years we've had had to
start paying for we get an

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35530-2
03:07:24.460 --> 03:07:27.587
invoice from 1 vendor for the
household has this waste and the

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35530-3
03:07:27.587 --> 03:07:29.076
second vendor for the E waste.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35536-0
03:07:31.116 --> 03:07:32.056
So it is separate.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35545-0
03:07:32.066 --> 03:07:33.786
We know what we pay for each
each year.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35546-0
03:07:34.586 --> 03:07:34.856
Right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35561-0
03:07:39.396 --> 03:07:39.936
Thank you, Tony.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35567-0
03:07:41.216 --> 03:07:43.026
Was that and that was that the
correct?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35590-0
03:07:43.076 --> 03:07:45.841
Was that the answer to your
question or did I misunderstand

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35579-0
03:07:43.226 --> 03:07:43.466
Right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35590-1
03:07:45.841 --> 03:07:46.486
your question?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35605-0
03:07:46.896 --> 03:07:47.676
Yeah, yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35591-0
03:07:47.236 --> 03:07:47.866
I no it.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35594-0
03:07:47.956 --> 03:07:48.786
It was Tony.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35619-0
03:07:48.796 --> 03:07:51.565
I'm just, I might follow up with
you to see if you might be able

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35622-0
03:07:51.016 --> 03:07:51.256
Sure.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35619-1
03:07:51.565 --> 03:07:52.886
to help you with those numbers.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35626-0
03:07:52.946 --> 03:07:54.116
Help me with those numbers.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35633-0
03:07:54.756 --> 03:07:55.356
I'm interested.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35635-0
03:07:55.976 --> 03:07:56.326
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35637-0
03:07:56.326 --> 03:07:56.746
Thank you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35645-0
03:07:56.336 --> 03:08:00.306
And I'm I think I told you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35650-0
03:08:00.316 --> 03:08:02.316
I've retired, so I'm working.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35669-0
03:08:02.326 --> 03:08:07.746
I do this from home now and that
numbers 2667866.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35673-0
03:08:09.246 --> 03:08:10.266
OK. Thanks.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35675-0
03:08:10.776 --> 03:08:10.976
Yep.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35674-0
03:08:11.406 --> 03:08:11.566
No.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35681-0
03:08:14.556 --> 03:08:16.616
Any other place his phone
number?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35689-0
03:08:16.856 --> 03:08:21.456
Cool, you're all the way across
the web.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35708-0
03:08:24.236 --> 03:08:27.036
Exactly from the transcript and
you.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35699-0
03:08:26.556 --> 03:08:26.856
I'll.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35704-0
03:08:26.866 --> 03:08:27.906
I'll be changing that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35709-0
03:08:27.916 --> 03:08:28.966
Probably you're right.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35724-0
03:08:29.016 --> 03:08:34.346
Sorry and I fought hard when I
retired to keep that number.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35728-0
03:08:34.826 --> 03:08:36.356
Yeah, it did.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35739-0
03:08:37.066 --> 03:08:37.576
And the other.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35747-0
03:08:37.066 --> 03:08:40.586
I'll let you know how it goes.
Maybe.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35757-0
03:08:41.426 --> 03:08:45.056
I just because we have different
voices in the room.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35797-0
03:08:45.206 --> 03:08:48.684
In the last meeting I talked
about potentially the need for

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35797-1
03:08:48.684 --> 03:08:52.452
more coordination between like,
different public works directors

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35797-2
03:08:52.452 --> 03:08:55.582
and departments, and you
mentioned a couple of things

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35797-3
03:08:55.582 --> 03:08:58.596
about like yard waste and how do
other towns do it?

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35804-0
03:08:58.606 --> 03:09:00.436
And I don't, I don't know.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35865-0
03:09:00.446 --> 03:09:03.732
And in the last meeting, we
talked about MRA being a place

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35865-1
03:09:03.732 --> 03:09:07.129
where people can mean the main
resource recovery association

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35865-2
03:09:07.129 --> 03:09:10.749
for folks you aren't in the know
with all the acronyms, but they

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35865-3
03:09:10.749 --> 03:09:13.980
have their annual meeting and
their annual conference and

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35865-4
03:09:13.980 --> 03:09:16.486
that's a good place for people
to come mean.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35886-0
03:09:16.496 --> 03:09:20.113
And then there's the main
municipal association, but also

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35886-1
03:09:20.113 --> 03:09:23.730
understanding that those are not
always free for folks to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35886-2
03:09:23.730 --> 03:09:24.666
participate in.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35898-0
03:09:24.676 --> 03:09:28.846
And it's also typically not
regionally located.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35911-0
03:09:28.856 --> 03:09:32.730
So people got to, you know, get
to the event in order to

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35911-1
03:09:32.730 --> 03:09:33.546
participate.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35992-0
03:09:33.636 --> 03:09:38.004
So I'm wondering if there is a
one desire and two, you know,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35992-1
03:09:38.004 --> 03:09:42.085
like what do we need to do to
enhance that collaboration

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35992-2
03:09:42.085 --> 03:09:46.811
between different municipalities
so that regionalization can take

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35992-3
03:09:46.811 --> 03:09:51.108
place and more efficient you
know like towns going together

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35992-4
03:09:51.108 --> 03:09:54.903
to have a household hazardous
waste day like I know,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35992-5
03:09:54.903 --> 03:09:59.128
Scarborough Saco, Biddeford Old
Orchard Beach, they all go

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35992-6
03:09:59.128 --> 03:10:03.066
together and they hope they each
host their own event.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/35999-0
03:10:03.116 --> 03:10:06.086
But everyone chips in, so
there's multiple opportunities.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36046-0
03:10:06.376 --> 03:10:10.252
So I'm just I I wanted to flag
that as you know, maybe this

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36046-1
03:10:10.252 --> 03:10:14.256
warrants a lot more continued
conversation, but opportunities

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36046-2
03:10:14.256 --> 03:10:18.455
for municipalities and and town
managers, public works directors

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36046-3
03:10:18.455 --> 03:10:21.426
to come together and talk about
these issues.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36105-0
03:10:21.766 --> 03:10:25.372
I'm I'm more ongoing basis
rather than just five years

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36105-1
03:10:25.372 --> 03:10:29.633
because there are lots of these
things that come up and it would

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36105-2
03:10:29.633 --> 03:10:33.698
be great to have a think tank of
people who who you know, one

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36105-3
03:10:33.698 --> 03:10:37.435
town has a solution to a problem
that five towns are all

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36105-4
03:10:37.435 --> 03:10:39.336
happening and and vice versa.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36171-0
03:10:39.376 --> 03:10:43.626
So to be able to share that
expertise and and I don't know

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36171-1
03:10:43.626 --> 03:10:47.805
if that's like a DP helps
facilitate or like who like who

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36171-2
03:10:47.805 --> 03:10:52.487
does this or can they just have
been organically uh, but I think

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36171-3
03:10:52.487 --> 03:10:57.098
that a lot of really good ideas,
some innovation you know, more

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36171-4
03:10:57.098 --> 03:11:01.348
potentially more infrastructure
could be borne out of more

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36171-5
03:11:01.348 --> 03:11:04.086
collaboration between
municipalities.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36176-0
03:11:04.316 --> 03:11:04.956
So I just want.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36201-0
03:11:04.966 --> 03:11:07.745
I just wanted to bring that up
and if anyone else has something

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36201-1
03:11:07.745 --> 03:11:09.526
to share with you, feel free to
do that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36238-0
03:11:09.536 --> 03:11:12.976
But if you think that that would
be helpful, I'm just noticing

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36238-1
03:11:12.976 --> 03:11:16.034
that I think that would be a
huge benefit to talents as

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36238-2
03:11:16.034 --> 03:11:19.147
they're trying to deal with all
these really complicated

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36238-3
03:11:19.147 --> 03:11:19.966
material types.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36244-0
03:11:23.336 --> 03:11:24.266
Nods in agreement.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36260-0
03:11:24.616 --> 03:11:25.636
Yeah, there's a lot of.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36287-0
03:11:25.646 --> 03:11:28.089
There's a lot of productive
cross talk and collaboration

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36287-1
03:11:28.089 --> 03:11:30.447
among transfer station operators
that are trainings we

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36287-2
03:11:30.447 --> 03:11:33.062
occasionally get public works
officials that attend those as

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36287-3
03:11:33.062 --> 03:11:33.276
well.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36298-0
03:11:34.466 --> 03:11:36.996
But I think there's a lot of
value in that.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36303-0
03:11:37.006 --> 03:11:37.896
I think the idea is great.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36320-0
03:11:37.906 --> 03:11:39.808
I'm not sure how to implement
it, but I think it's an

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36320-1
03:11:39.808 --> 03:11:40.336
excellent idea.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36366-0
03:11:40.406 --> 03:11:42.407
You know, because when they
start talking to each other,

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36366-1
03:11:42.407 --> 03:11:44.583
they always comparing notes,
checking pricing, seeing who has

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36366-2
03:11:44.583 --> 03:11:46.619
a better vendors with the
service levels has all kinds of

03:11:46.619 --> 03:11:47.286
stuff that happens.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36383-0
03:11:47.296 --> 03:11:50.379
That's that's not us, but as a
productive part of this

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36383-1
03:11:50.379 --> 03:11:50.996
discussion.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36385-0
03:11:51.246 --> 03:11:51.756
Yeah.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36428-0
03:11:51.766 --> 03:11:55.174
And they could probably help
that collaboration could

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36428-1
03:11:55.174 --> 03:11:58.708
probably help solve some of
these problems that we keep

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36428-2
03:11:58.708 --> 03:12:02.557
having because home rule is
makes things complicated in some

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36428-3
03:12:02.557 --> 03:12:06.154
ways because everybody's doing
it alone where they don't

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36428-4
03:12:06.154 --> 03:12:07.416
necessarily have to.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36446-0
03:12:07.546 --> 03:12:13.006
So I just, yeah, I just wanted
to flag that there was a Public

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36446-1
03:12:13.006 --> 03:12:14.566
works association.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36450-0
03:12:15.096 --> 03:12:16.676
They're not shared.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36456-0
03:12:16.786 --> 03:12:17.726
Probably is OK.

8b6d7c51-84b3-48e8-8b35-2400dd371c56/36471-0
03:12:18.616 --> 03:12:22.146
Is it true there's a charge to
