DPW- Less Waste, Better Baltimore Focus Group
Dan participated in the Less Waster, Better Baltimore Focus Group. City dump will be at capacity in 2023. City has a mandate to get to 32% recycling rate, currently at 24%. Need to figure out how to make people in the city recycle.
- Suggestions: free recycling bins, regular pickups, sorting that works, doing things with the plastic, invest in street infrastructure
- Committee would want to reach out to DPW and ask to be the pilot program
- Price out the cost of getting everyone a recycling can ($960,000)
