The ad hoc Recycling and Waste Reduction Committee is charged with making recommendations to the City Council regarding the future of the recycling center; its effectiveness, what form it should take, how it should be funded and whether it should continue to operate at all.

The Committee shall, in the course of its work:

Provide ample opportunity for public input;
Consult with Recology and City staff to determine what impact, if any, its recommendations would have on garbage rates; and
Present its recommendations in writing so they can be easily shared with the public.
