Project designed to improve air quality by promoting composting rather than burning of yard debris. Results will be measured by public surveys. Resulting plastic pellets will be sold to make new nursery pots and other supplies. Is requesting material handling equipment to expand the program beyond its 40 projects in the last year. Has 400 volunteers to help make deconstruction cost effective.
All reusable equipment is refurbished with volunteer help, the rest is recycled.
Need determined by SOLV community meeting. Applicant estimates this convenient depot will collect 50 tons of recyclables per year initially.
