Thank you to Karen Slote and Sunwoo Kahng of the Newton Sustainable Materials Management Commission for their impactful presentation on February 3, 2022. Karen and Sunwoo shared recommendations being made by the Commission to set Newton on the path towards zero waste (including measurable goals, variable size carts, ‘less cost for less trash’ programs, and citywide organics collection), and then answered over 20 questions posed by webinar attendees.
We encourage our members and the community to look over the Commission’s Report (Fall, 2021). Questions can be sent to: newtonsmmc@gmail.com.
