Director of Sustainability and Environment conveying a recycling education postcard being mailed to residents.

Official Text

To the Honorable City Council:

 

I hereby convey notification that during the month of November residents and other recycling customers will receive a postcard with educational information on recycling.  A copy of the postcard is attached.  This postcard has two purposes: 1) to reduce contamination in Somerville's recycling, and 2) to remind residents of the Waste Wizard app (www.somervillema.gov/wizard).  The postcard is a joint effort between the City of Somerville and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.  Proper recycling reduces costs and environmental impacts. 

 

Please contact me if I can be of further assistance.

Director, Office of Sustainability & Environment
