Council requests plan for better downtown recycling

Getting people to throw trash into trash containers and recyclables into recycling containers is not as easy as it might seem.

Village Council spent about a half hour at its June 29 special meeting coming up with some parameters for a downtown recycling program.

Among the challenges council faces: Ensuring trash and recyclables go into the proper containers and placing the receptacles in easy-to-find areas.

An initial proposal from village staff for a station with four holes, for plastic bottles, glass bottles, paper and trash, was rejected.

Councilwoman Michelle Lerner said such a station would be bulky. Other council members said not all the materials are generated in the downtown area.

Instead, the council asked village staff to draft a plan that implements the use of smaller receptacles, each of which handle a specific item. The receptacles then could be placed outside venues generating the designated item.

They said the receptacles should be targeted to those establishments.

Two containers that accept all recyclable materials now are interspersed with trash containers on the north side of Broadway. The containers for recycling are brown (distinguishing them from the green trash containers) and have the words "recyclables only, please" on the top.

The officials said they would prefer a receptacle with an opening intended for a particular recyclable item and the trash and recycling containers should be side by side to encourage people to distinguish between them.
